No. You need to read in the Util schema.

Windows Installer can handle creation of any Windows NT service. The Java

You should be able to do something along these lines:
foreach (var k in session.CustomActionData.Keys)
{
session.Log(k + " = " + session.CustomActionData[k]);
}
But you would have to have set the CA data property for that custom action,
I think.

Yes! It is a Windows NT service.

The execute attribute on Custom action lets you choose immediate, deferred,
etc. An issue I'm seeing in the installer is that accessing a Session attribute
is only allowed if it's immediate execution. So this makes me think it has to
be immediate, but must be after a step that's after InstallFil
This is probably because your CA is scheduled as immediate, rather than
deferred. You need to set Execute=deferred, and Impersonate=no on your
CustomAction element.
However, this presents a problem - deferred CAs do not get access to
properties. Instead, you need to use the CustomActionData specia
The execute sequence runs twice, in custom action terminology the first is
"immediate", when Windows is writing a script to do the install; the second
time it's "deferred" when applied to custom actions, when the system
actually gets changed. That means you can be after InstallFiles in an

Turns out the attribute I was trying to use was INSTALLFOLDER, not INSTALLDIR,
as specified in my Product.wxs. So now, that resolves to the path I expect.
However, I'm having a new issue. The custom action is trying to work on a file
that's expeted to be present in my INSTALLFOLDER. I put some M
First off, scheduling. The values of Directory properties (including one like
INSTALLDIR), aren't going to be meaningful until after CostFinalize. Since
you're running in the InstallExecSequence after InstallFiles, that's not it.

Is this a versioned file or a data file?
Dates usually don't matter with versioned files - if you want to know it's
history use the version. If it's a data file Windows will set some dates
when it gets installed.
And are we talking about creation, last access, modify times?

Hi everyone,
I am only a placement student and will be returning to complete my studies
in September. I have created all new setups for the company I am working
for, I want to leave documents on how to maintain the setups I have created
and also how to do small modifications as nobody is familiar
Then you'll want to stay with .NET 4.0. Writing (and supporting) diverging
product versions is going to be a headache. Microsoft designed .NET 4.5 to
force you off .NET 4.0 and support for all those beloved legacy platforms (like
XP). The IdentityModel assemblies are just the tip of the icebe
You need to write one. As custom actions go, it's not hard. I would recommend
a table-driven approach.
