Slight Mis-post In the MergeModule, I have
<Property Id="SERVICEUSER" Value="DOMAIN/USER"/>
<Property Id="SERVICEPASSWORD" Value="PASSWORD" />
When I look at the log, I can see that my custom actions inside the merge
module are working, however, the data is never received from the Product Module
(Here is the snippet of the log)...
MSI (s) (F4:C0) [18:32:04:396]: Doing action:
SetServiceUser.06C528FC_89E0_48C7_B32F_50DEAF36899F

Subject: [WiX-users] Passing Values from the ProductModule to a MergeModule
This post is a little long, but hopefully it provides enough information to
provide some insight into what the problem is that I am having, and when a
solution or directions are provided, it will provide enough context to help
others who may have the same requirement later.
I have been struggling with this for more than a day now. I need to pass some
of the parameters received on the command line of the installer to a
MergeModule (all in Wix). It is a Merge Module because it will be provided to
a customer to embed in their installers as well.
Basically The Merge Module consists of a service, as follows (Pruned):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";>
<Module Id="MM.WindowService" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0">
<Package Id="GUID2" InstallerVersion="200" Manufacturer=" " />
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="MergeRedirectFolder">
<Component Id='component_WindowsService' Guid="GUID1" DiskId='1'>
<!-- Install the service -->
<ServiceInstall
Id='ServiceInstaller' Type='ownProcess' Vital="yes"
Name="XPedientServiceHost" DisplayName="XPedient Services Host"
Description="XPedient Services Host" Start="auto"
Account="[ServiceUser]"
Password="[ServicePassword]"
ErrorControl="normal" Interactive="no" >
<ServiceDependency Id="Eventlog" />
<util:ServiceConfig FirstFailureActionType="restart"
SecondFailureActionType="restart" ThirdFailureActionType="restart"/>
</ServiceInstall>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Property Id="SERVICEUSER" Value=""/>
<Property Id="SERVICEPASSWORD" Value="" />
<Property Id="ServiceUser" Value="administrator"/>
<Property Id="ServicePassword" Value="password" />
<CustomAction Id='SetServiceUser' Property='ServiceUser'
Value='[SERVICEUSER]' />
<CustomAction Id='SetServicePassword' Property='ServicePassword'
Value='[SERVICEPASSWORD]' />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='SetServiceUser' After='LaunchConditions'></Custom>
<Custom Action='SetServicePassword' After='LaunchConditions'></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
</Module>
</Wix>
I have tried it with and without the custom action and additional properties.
I just cannot seem to figure out how to get the information passed into the
merge module; all of the googling I did indicated that others had tried, but I
was not able to find any further hints than what I have included within this
request for help. I did see that Rob had answered a similiar problem quite
sometime ago but I did not understand his reply about using .Module/@Property,
and have not been able to find any sort of information as to how that would
work either.
The Product Module looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";>
<Product Id="GUID3" Name=" " Language="1033" Version="1.4.3.0"
UpgradeCode="GUID4" Manufacturer=" ">
<Package Id="*" InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" Keywords=" "
Description="" />
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="WindowsService.cab" EmbedCab="yes" DiskPrompt="
Installation Media"/>
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id="XT" Name="XT">
<!-- WindowsService -->
<Directory Id="WINDOWSSERVICE" Name="WindowsService">
<Merge Id='mm.xpj.winservice' Language='1033'
SourceFile='WindowsService.msm' DiskId='1'>
<ConfigurationData Name='SERVICEUSER'
Value='[XPJDOMAIN]\[XPJUSER]'/>
<ConfigurationData Name='SERVICEPASSWORD'
Value='[XPJPASSWORD]'/>
</Merge>
