I am wondering if some one can assist me how to fix the issue.
Problem: I have set a session variable in a CA function written in C# and then
trying to copy that value back into a property that is declared in WIX.
Solution implemented:
I have CA with logic that will set the value as below and is in the execute
sequence and is scheduled before "CostInitialize"
session.CustomActionData["SERVICEUSER"] ="MyUser";
I am now trying to retrieve the value back to WIX
<SetProperty Id="USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT" Value="[SERVICEUSER]"
After="CostFinalize" Sequence="execute">
<![CDATA[PATCH]]>
</SetProperty>
My property declaration in WIX is as follows
<Property Id="USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT" Secure="yes">YYYY</Property>
In the verbose log
Action ended 12:40:35: CostFinalize. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (40:28) [12:40:35:951]: Doing action: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
Action 12:40:35: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
Action start 12:40:35: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
MSI (s) (40:28) [12:40:35:967]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
property. Its current value is 'YYYY'.
Action ended 12:40:35: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT. Return value 1.
The result I was expecting was something like this and not the deletion of
property.
PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT property. Its current value is
'YYYY'. Its new value: 'MyUser'.
Thanks

Hi Blair/Jacob,
I think that SetProperty creates the necessary custom action and that it is
not deferred. This is currently scheduled after "CostFinalize" in execute
Sequence.
The CA to set {session.CustomActionData["SERVICEUSER"] ="MyUser"; } is also in
the execute sequence and is scheduled before "CostInitialize".
Through logging, I have checked the value of CA variable SERVICEUSER in CA and
the values are set as expected. As CA to set customactiondata and setproperty
custom action runs in the same execute sequence, I taught both CA share the
same session variables. Is that correct?
Action ended 11:31:44: CostInitialize. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (CC:A0) [11:31:44:293]: Doing action: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
Action 11:31:44: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
Action start 11:31:44: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
MSI (s) (CC:A0) [11:31:44:309]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
property. Its current value is 'OtherUser'.
Action ended 11:31:44: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT. Return value 1.
Thanks

Is your CA run in the same sequence as SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT?
What does your log say about the value of SERVICEUSER? Is it set in a line in
your log that starts “MSI (s)”?

Is your CA scheduled as deferred?

Hi Jacob,
Please interpret XXXX as [SERVICEUSER] which is coming from CA and being set
as below in CA
session.CustomActionData["SERVICEUSER"] ="MyUser";
Thanks

Is XXX in this case referring to another property? The reason it deletes is
because it has no value.

Hi,
I am using wix element SetProperty to preserve a value of the property
during repair/ patch installation as shown in the below snippet
<SetProperty Id="USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT" Value="XXXX" After="CostFinalize"
Sequence="execute">
<![CDATA[PATCH]]>
</SetProperty>
My property declaration is as follows
<Property Id="USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT" Secure="yes">YYYY</Property>
In the verbose log
Action ended 12:40:35: CostFinalize. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (40:28) [12:40:35:951]: Doing action: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
Action 12:40:35: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
Action start 12:40:35: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT.
MSI (s) (40:28) [12:40:35:967]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
property. Its current value is 'YYYY'.
Action ended 12:40:35: SetUSER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT. Return value 1.
The result I was expecting was something like this
PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT property. Its current value is
'YYYY'. Its new value: 'XXXX'.
I see a link with the similar issue
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Patching-e
rror-td7586521.html and I have taken care of points that have explained here.
Is there anything I am still missing?
Thanks
