Hi,
How would I send up a property value from a wix document to a variable
in a C# custom action form?
What I am needing to do is pass the installation directory path to the
custom action form so that the form writes a correct path to an .exe for
a scheduled task that it creates.

Thanks. We've built our MSI using wix 2.0 and if I edit the MSI using orca I
don't see the ExtendedType column in the custom action table but If I look at

The WiX version test is a guarantee that it WON'T work because it will refuse
to install.
We work very hard to make sure that our software is "upwardly compatible"
I had not thought of it from that perspective. I thought it was yelling about
the 'component' as in the installer entry, not the COM component object.
I looked up the CLSID from the registry (SysLog.Log\CLSID) and the
installation did proceed further. However, it is now erroring out with a

Don't shoot the messanger John. I'm just passing along what I know about the
current situation. Also note that with the 4.0 FW, the CLR changed the way is

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression of shooting the messenger. I just
want to make sure that WiX doesn't turn "won't guarantee it" into "guarantee it
won't".

If you want the ability to easily force an installation later, I would
suggest either transforms, or adding a clause like "or
SKIPNETFRAMEWORKCHECK" and documenting how your enterprise customers
can create a transform or use the property to continue the install
when the checks fail. Heck, put a sim
This seems wrong, I'm pretty sure users in the Administrators group
get the pre-Vista type behavior you're looking for.
I tested the code briefly before posting last week, unfortunately that
my 2008 R2 machine keeps locking up on me today so I can't confirm
right now.

Sascha, Where does one obtain the merge modules you listed below? I've not
been able to find the VC Runtime as a Merge Module.

Hi John,
These are usually found under the 32-bit program files folder, more
specifically C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules
On my desktop I think these have been installed either as part of
Visual Studio or the Windows SDK, the optional feature

In general (if using DTF): use the Session object to retrieve the property's
value.
Deferred actions require using the "CustomActionData" value for retrieval
(set that property by assigning a value to a property named after the
deferred action's name) since deferred actions aren't given access to

2- The only real option is to have an immediate custom action update the
ServiceControl table during the transaction.

You could try using the CustomTable element to supersede the built-in
definition of the CustomAction table. However, it would be preferable to
investigate moving to WiX 3.0 as it has been RTM for over a half year and
has better support for what you are trying to achieve.

I forget where it is documented, but here is what happens:
If you include the policy module(s), then anyone can install a replacement
runtime that claims to be backward compatible with the one you
install/tested against and your program will start using that "newer" one
instead of the one you test
Thanks Blair,
So you're basically saying a 3rd party software update that includes
an updated module from MS could break something? If so, then that only
sounds like a problem if we have a long lead time between
releases/updates or aren't keeping the dev/build/test machines up to
date with the lat
