Re: [WiX-users] Reading contents of a text file

There is a crude native C++ custom action here ( http://wixml.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=263) called Property Loader. It allows you to read and replace text in a text file. However, it doesn't support rollback. Thanks, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity." - Me

Re: [WiX-users] Reading contents of a text file

You'll have to stick with a custom action for that. To read a text file, I'd just use VBScript to read the text file ( fso.OpenTextFile (...).ReadAll ) and store it in a property (if it's a short text). Otherwise it depends on your purpose. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Deployment consultan
