Okay I am trying this out and I can not seem to get it working.
We are using WiX 3.7 and all it seems to do is delete the property. Maybe I
am missing something really easy and it is just escaping me. Here is what I
have:
In Merge Module:
<Property Id="FOO" Value="0" />
<Configuration Name="fooProperty" Format="Integer"
DefaultValue="[FOO]"/>
<Substitution Table="CustomAction" Row="setFoo" Column="Target"
Value="[fooProperty]"/>
<CustomAction Id="setFoo" Property="FOO" Value="[FOO]"
Execute="immediate" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="setFoo" After="CostInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
In Parent project:
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Merge Id="CoreSharedDrivers" Language="1033"
SourceFile="$(var.PROJECT_ROOT)/installs/x86/$(var.Configuration)/CoreSharedDrivers.msm"
DiskId="1">
<ConfigurationData Name="fooProperty" Value="[FOO]"/>
</Merge>
</DirectoryRef>
The main differences are I am using DirectoryRef, formatting to Interger,
and the property is not initially defaulted to a value in the parent
install, it is only valid if passed on command line..
Here is bits of the install log:
MSI (s) (BC:B8) [15:46:28:947]: Command Line: FOO=1
CURRENTDIRECTORY=c:\Users\timm\Desktop CLIENTUILEVEL=2 CLIENTPROCESSID=3856
MSI (s) (BC:B8) [15:46:29:072]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding FOO property. Its
value is '1'.
MSI (s) (BC:B8) [15:46:43:431]: Doing action: Set_FOO
Action start 15:46:43: Set_FOO.
Action ended 15:46:43: Set_FOO. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (BC:B8) [15:46:43:603]: Doing action:
setFoo.F5F26EB0_E10F_4C42_9337_E3138BE966BC
MSI (s) (BC:B8) [15:46:43:603]: *PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting
FOO.F5F26EB0_E10F_4C42_9337_E3138BE966BC property. Its current value is
'0'.*
Action start 15:46:43: setFoo.F5F26EB0_E10F_4C42_9337_E3138BE966BC.
Action ended 15:46:43: setFoo.F5F26EB0_E10F_4C42_9337_E3138BE966BC. Return
value 1.
Property(S): FOO = 1
So if you can see what I might be doing wrong I would appreciate finding
out...
Thanks,
Tim.
