Because most of these are nested in folders created by the application. I would really like to use the RemoveFolderEX element found in Wix 3.6 but I am not allowed to use that version yet. I am forced to stay on 3.5

Cc: McCain, Jon Subject: Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Action Fails when Inserting Temoporary Rows. Just curious here but why not use the RemoveFile element within the component that initially installed the file or do you not own this file? Also, AFAIK If you remove all files in the fashion above that directory will be removed as well. Jon W.

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. --Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
