Hello,
Writing managed custom actions is not supported. A standalone executable will
not see anything of the setup around.
I took two half ready projects and used them, to build up something that gives
you the possibility to write managed custom actions and access the current
setup from within

Thanks for your replies.

Sounds like your wxs file is not saved in UTF-8 or some other encoding that
allows German characters. Also, you have to have at the top of your XML file.

Hi Guys,
A question with a simple answer I'm sure.
What is the format for creating an INF file to prepopulate the public
properties (theres a mouthful) of an MSI package?
And, does the MSI automatically look for INF files with the same name as the
currently executing MSI? I do I need to start
In my build environment, one of my unit tests is to compare the contents of
the MSI to the files that were available to be built. This alerts me to
application changes that have new resources that I've not been told about. An
overly simplified look at this process would be like this:

The account needs the "log on a service" right. It's not automatic for
