Re: [WiX-users] Build 3.0.3210.0 - multiple cabinets problems

Hi Bob, Yes, I saw that and hoped it's a bug :). You confirmed me it's not a bug. However, I beleive this is a bit like "the hard way to do it". It would be a lot more easier to define and use like: - DiskId defined in Directory element - if DiskId missing in DirectoryRef element, default to Dir

Re: [WiX-users] vista custom actions

If you want them to be elevated you want Impersonate="no". As for when they are executed, that depends on when you scheduled them, but a deferred custom action is supposed to be scheduled somewhere in the InstallExecuteSequence between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. Rob Alexander Gn

[WiX-users] Reading command line parameter

Re: [WiX-users] Reading command line parameter

Hey Steve, The way I have done it is to use an all capitalized property name. When all in CAPS this tells the MSI it is a public property and can be set on the command-line. I have used "INSTALLDIR" in the past as my property. I believe there is another common one. It can then be overwritten.

Re: [WiX-users] Managed Custom Action

The InstallUtilLib infrastructure for calling managed code has no functionality that cannot be handled by running your managed code as an executable. Properties pass one way into the managed code whether into installer classes or executables. In the vast majority of cases there's simply no point
