Re: [WiX-users] A bit of info on CA data utility functions?

2008-06-09 Thread Ryan O'Neill
Not quite sure of your question, but the following may be of help. My understanding is that deferred custom actions cannot read the normal MSI properties and can only access data through the CustomActionData property. This is because they are run outside the scope of the UI in a separate transacti

Hi, I think I know whereabouts you have a problem but I can't give you precise instructions. I suspect that what is happening is that your installdir and other properties only get set in the UI sequence, without a UI then the target directory is not set and you get it installed to the root. You c
