When trying to do so, i encountered this problem: I have a textbox in my window that sets a property when it changes Engine.StringVariables["UserName"] = UserName; in my CustomAction i want to use this property, something like: WriteTextToFile(session["UserName"]); I can see it doesn't work, i guess it's something with the variables declaration.. but i couldn't find an answer for that.. I would really appreciate some help, thanks!! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-CustomAction-in-WPF-Bootstrapper-application-tp7589611p7589613.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
