How are you setting your CustomActionData property? You will want to log what
you set it to, log what the entire CustomActionData value is when you run
deferred, and log how you are parsing it all out (at least until you have it
all working).

The only way to do that today would be to write a custom BA that cycles through

During the build the MSI is needed in the location indicated by SourceFile. It
does not need to be there during installation because it can be downloaded. The
build won't download the file to read out of the package information it needs
to prepare the relevant metadata.

Your string starting with 8? is the output from the script (with '?' used for

Ahh thanks a bunch Blair, my script indeed output some text while executing for
logging purposes, so then I assume that no output should be returned from the
script except for the exit code? How do you know when something goes wrong from
reading the log file? Is it possible to achieve?

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I tried with your suggestions and I got the setup by both SourceFile and
DownloadURL but when compare with the exiting setup(without downloadurl
property) size are same. I think the web installer setup is very less than
normal setup.
Could you please help for this?
Determining success or failure is usually done from the exit code. Any code
other than 0 is considered by Windows Installer to be a failure.
Normally we do want to see output from our scripts, preferably in the same log.

There is documentation in the wix.chm file (towards the bottom in the

What you need to know is if your package is being compressed into the setup
exe. Try running the setup exe on a machine with no network connection or check
the log after running the setup exe by itself from a USB stick.

I think you are hitting a bug that is now fixed in 3.8 - the engine was

You could create a new MSI and bundle with a higher version number but with the
