I have an example in C# using DTF at: http://blog.iswix.com/2008/05/how-dtf-is-going-to-help-me-become.html
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12492769/wix-remove-old-program-folder-be fore-install I know your using C++ so you'll have to look at what the underlying function is for each class/method in DTF and then see what tricks WiX provides for creating records and what not. Then of course there's all the wonderful casting you have to do in C++. Eitherway, maybe it'll just validate the general flow and help you catch something thats missing.

The only thing I can guess at is that you need to specify all 4 columns of the ListBox table, rather than just the 3 you have. The other difference from my code is that I also have MSIDBERROR insertError = MSIDBERROR_NOERROR; And I give &insertError as the 4th argument. -----Original Message----- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: 20 September 2012 10:58 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Populate a list box from a custom action Hi I have a Custom Action in C++ that gets the Com ports of a machine and I need to get these into a listbox in my staller. I have the following but it is the wcaAddTempRecord is not working and I cannot find any good documentation on this.
