Re: [WiX-users] Passing values to CA not working

2012-02-28 Thread Romeo S.
You're running the CA as "immediate", I don't think it's necessary to use CustomActionData unless what you really wanted is "deferred". Try getting the property normally (assuming your ExecuteSequence is right). String sServerName = mpSession["MSMACHINE"]; Regards, Romeo -- View this message in

Hi, I noticed that Burn moves the payload to Cached Directory during uninstall even though the ExePackage/@Permanent="yes" is set, tried to search the bug list see if there's any related issue about it but no luck. Is this by design? The problem is if the Payload is too big like 1000s of files, i
