I read that. Which of the four rules is this violating?
I made the warning go away by making the C# CA 'immediate' thus I don't have to
have another custom action to remember the property. So I have
<CustomAction Id="CA_CheckCredentials"
Return="check"
Execute="immediate"
BinaryKey="CustomActionsDLL"
DllEntry="CheckCredentials"/>
And the schedule
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_CheckCredentials" After="InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
But in the verbose log I get:
MSI (s) (B8:9C) [22:04:26:415]: Note: 1: 1723 2: CA_CheckCredentials 3:
CheckCredentials 4: D:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI410.tmp
Action start 22:04:26: CA_CheckCredentials.
MSI (s) (B8:9C) [22:04:26:415]: Product: Bsi WebServices -- Error 1723. There
is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this
install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package
vendor. Action CA_CheckCredentials, entry: CheckCredentials, library:
D:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI410.tmp
Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL
required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Action CA_CheckCredentials, entry:
CheckCredentials, library: D:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI410.tmp
The error says that the DLL cannot be run. Why? I believe I have followed the
instructions for writing a managed CA to the tee (though there seems to be some
disagreement between the online tutorial http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ and
this book).
