I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I cannot seem to figure out why my
custom action is constantly failing me. The action executes on uninstall and
is to browse the install folder and add files to the RemoveFile table (with a
few additional properties too) in the MSI so that the file is removed during
uninstall. The action is defined as
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom
Action="PurgeFolder"
After="InstallInitialize">
<![CDATA[REMOVE~="ALL" AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE]]>
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The action runs as expected as I can get log messages to show up in the log
file. However whenever the action attempts to insert a temporary row (Either
in the Property Table or the RemoveFile table) I get the exception:
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.InstallerException: Function failed
during execution. Database: Table(s) Update failed.
at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View.Modify(ViewModifyMode mode,
Record record)
The method for updating the view looks like
Record newRecord = session.Database.CreateRecord(2);
newRecord.SetString(1, directoryProperty);
newRecord.SetString(2, directory.FullName);
session.Log(String.Format("Adding Property {0}", newRecord.ToString()));
propertyView.Modify(ViewModifyMode.InsertTemporary, newRecord);
I have even tried executing a straight insert statement like "INSERT INTO
Property ('Property', 'Value') Values (Value1, Value2) TEMPORARY" to no avail.
And there is no way the directory property name could be conflicting as it is
part static with a GUID (stripped of the hyphens) appended to the end of it.
I am almost at my wits end here. I am half a step away from the CA just
blowing away the whole directory but I am trying to be a good Windows Installer
citizen here and use the tools as they are.
