That's probably my fault. Leave the types as they originally were and use an ampersand in front. Ie:
hr = WcaGetProperty(L"UNAME", &userName); -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Hebert [mailto:ke...@legendary-immersion.com] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 4:22 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action to verify input Here's the whole of the function: UINT __stdcall VerifyUserInformation( __in MSIHANDLE hInstall ) { LPWSTR userName = NULL; LPWSTR email = NULL; HRESULT hr = S_OK; UINT er = ERROR_SUCCESS; hr = WcaInitialize(hInstall, "VerifyUserInformation"); ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to Initialize"); hr = WcaSetProperty(L"UserInfoError", L""); ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to initialize UserInfoError"); if (WcaIsPropertySet("UNAME")) { hr = WcaGetProperty(L"UNAME", userName); ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to get UNAME."); WcaLog(LOGMSG_VERBOSE, "UNAME is %ls.", userName); } if (WcaIsPropertySet("EMAIL")) { hr = WcaGetProperty(L"EMAIL", email); ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to get EMAIL."); WcaLog(LOGMSG_VERBOSE, "EMAIL is %ls.", email); } if(wcslen(userName) == 0) { hr = WcaSetProperty(L"UserInfoError", L"Please enter your name."); WcaLog(LOGMSG_VERBOSE, "Please enter your name."); } else if(wcslen(email) == 0) { hr = WcaSetProperty(L"UserInfoError", L"Please enter your email address."); WcaLog(LOGMSG_VERBOSE, "Please enter your email address."); } LExit: if (FAILED(hr)) { er = ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE; } return WcaFinalize(er); } If I build this, I get an error "cannot convert parameter 2 from 'LPWSTR' to LPWSTR *' on the line: hr = WcaGetProperty(L"UNAME", userName); So, I turned userName into LPWSTR*, and then I get the error I mentioned in the above post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
