Calculate the value you wish to place in ARPSIZE based on whatever you wish to use and set that property to that value. I would assume you would need to use an intermediate custom action to set that property's value this way. -Blair > Date: Tue, 24 May 2011 16:49:18 +0400 > From: sh0...@gmai

Re: [WiX-users] License and custom BA

2011-05-24 Thread Blair
IANAL and my overarching recommendation is that you consult with an attorney that knows OSS licenses. Having said that, here's my take: The license that WiX uses is a copy-left, such that any change to the WiX sources must be available under the same license. However, the BA you write isn't part o

That's not the signature of a custom action function call. The only parameter passed is an MSIHANDLE. Since that probably starts with a couple of nulls, you'll get an empty string displayed. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: Daniel de Zwart [mailto:dan...@dezzles.com] Sent: Monday
