Unfortunately the Deferred custom action does not have acces to the
installation database.
So the solution is to have several Custom actions:
1) Immediate custom action that will read the text from Error Table,
parse it (replace the specified sequence with new line characters)

It's a strange requirement and you'll have to use a CustomAction. You might
look at the secureobj.cpp code to see how best to do that since SecureObj can
change things that were just installed. Non-trivial amount of work to do
correctly.

Thanks Mike. I'm not using the attribute directly, but I do need to be
able to clear or set it. This is for an internal project so I'm not sure
what I can say publically, but one of the requirements is control over
all of the destination file attributes.

As far as I know, the Archive bit is typically only used by backup
applications to determine if a file has changed since the last time it was
backed up. The OS automatically sets the archive bit when files are
modified. Backup tools clear it when the file has been backed up.

We had a wiki. Nobody stepped up to maintain it. It got covered with spam.
So we took it down. We then created a tracker on SourceForge where people can

Thanks a lot! This example code is better than I hoped for.

to add snippets of code like this, and I think it would help others who need to

Thanks for the clarification. I did figure out a way to do this with WiX
(in case anybody else stumbles upon this message). By changing the alias to
match the correct location of the folder, you can create a virtual directory
at this location as well as a web application.

You could author the REINSTALLMODE Property into your MSI. That might force it

The function

can use two forms of hRecord.
If you use

then the string is taken from Error table and cannot use the \r\n

You can't force newlines. I had to resort to creating multiple text controls.
