I am building a C# Custom Action that will be called from dialog button
"Publish". The C# CA is working when called from the Publish Event="DoAction".
However, I can not get it to access the properties that have been set on the
dialog page that the push button control is on. After researching I saw how to
use another CustomAction to set the properties that can be accessed by the C#
DLL. I was not able to get the C# DLL (called from Publish) to get the
properties using this process. To test that my code was working I commented
out the Publish Event="DoAction", and modified the "InstallExecuteSequence" to
call the C# CA DLL by. I had to change the CustomAction for the DLL from
"Execute='immediate'" to 'Execute="deferred"'. The C# CA DLL was able to
correctly pick up the properties when I did this. I then commented out the
"InstallExecuteSequence" and uncommented the 'Publish Event="DoAction"', this
caused mye to get errors during the install. I then changed the CustomAction
for the DLL from 'Execute="deferred"' back to "Execute='immediate'". This fixed
the install error, but I'm now back at the original problem of not being able
to access the properties when the C# CA DLL is called from the 'Publish
Event="DoAction"'.
Is there a way for a C# CA DLL to access the properties when the CA is called
from a 'Publish Event="DoAction"'?
The reason why I want to do this is that I am taking the values of the
properties, performing some security operations on them and then storing them
into a series of registry entries that are dynamically created by the C# DLL.
I need to create the new registry entries from the C# DLL, instead of being
scripted in WiX.
Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.
I am using WiX 3.6.1112.0 + VS2010.
