Hi,
I have been trying to roll a few msps together into an installation bundle
and I am getting some odd errors.
I am using wix 3.6.1615.
If I use the unmodified WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense and
build and click through to the install i get the following errors in the log
and my p
I just discovered that I was not referencing the *.CA.dll (was writing this
email just as you replied), and that has solved it.
Thanks a lot for the help. :)

Your code seems to be ok, what does it say in an install log?
Are you sure you are adding the
CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction.CA.dll to the project and not the
CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction.dll?
Also I don't see where you schedule your custom action, I assume though that

Ignore this one, I was being stupid. :) Still getting the same error message
though (see my other email).

Hi,
That's great - but how have you injected the value of session["property"]?
Many thanks,

I've created a custom action project (in vs2008) from the project template
"custom action project" from the category "Windows Installer XML".
All the class/method has is the following:
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
namespace CheckWindowsFeatureEnabled
{
public class CustomAct
Did you create a full DTF custom action project or just add the
references/attribute to a normal c# one?
A DTF custom action dll has the c# dll embedded in it as a resource with a
manifest file...

Hi,
I think DTF custom actions always need a Session object as parameter.With the
session object you can get installer properties.
Here is a example of a working C# CustomAction.
[CustomAction]public static ActionResult ConnectDb(Session session){string
test = session["property"];}

Hi Guys,
I've been writing a custom-action for detecting if a given feature is installed
on the machine. If I use it as an executable, it is fine:
But if I set it up as a DLL it fails to run/load:

I've never done it but I think it's possible by creating a patch with an
earlier patch sequence number than the patch you're fixing (in the same
family). However, if you've superseded all earlier patches in the latest one,
I don't think it'll work. You'll have to experiment or ask someone more

I have tried the recipe described here:
http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2011/02/23/web-application-installer-in-wix.aspx
But somehow it either doesn't work, or I have messed things up.
My IIS 6 setup:
Default Web Site (listening to port 81)

Wow. Thank you VERY MUCH for the lightening fast answer, Peter!!!
Can you elaborate "issue a patch that fits earlier into the sequence first"
please?

You're right, the original custom action and condition are run at patch
uninstall because the patch package is not applied to the MSI when the patch
is being uninstalled.

Hi, I modified the custom actions from the original MSI so that during patch

The conditions I modified (I added "AND NOT PATCH AND NOT MSIPATCHREMOVE ")
are something like:

Is the component table shows new component (that is ok)? But if it shows change
in component GUID, or Removed Components then the patch will not work.
Possible problem:
Make sure that the file fragments are only updated when you create the second
MSI. If you create(not update) the fragment using
If you update to Windows Installer 4.5 is the same behaviour observed?
Why are you testing on Vista without any Service Packs installed anyway?
There's a reason why Microsoft issue service packs for operating systems, this
is one of them.

Thanks Mahesh.
After creating 2 MSIs I verified it through ORCA. The component GUIDs
are same in the Component table. There is no difference.
But when I viewed a patch over the first MSI(open first MSI in ORCA,
then select Transform-> View Patch), It shows lot of difference in
Component table.

Could you use openssl to generate the certificates instead?

Oops :)
When doing a major upgrade on Vista without any service pack the VC merge
modules are uninstalled (in RemoveExistingProject) and not replaced by the
new package.
This only happens on Vista (no sp) all other OS it works as expected.
