Hi,

I am newbie to WiX and I have two quick questions.

 

1)      I have a deferred custom action that runs at the end of an installation. I want to change the text displayed in my exit dialog depending on the results of the custom Action. Usually, I would do this using properties but the deferred custom action cannot set any properties. Is there any way around this? Is it possible for example, to SET the CustomActionData property in a deferred custom action dll, and then read that property in the dialog definition?

2)      I have an immediate custom action that calls a dll function. That function needs to access a .cab file bundled in the installer. Unfortunately, when the function is called it cannot find the .cab file, even though the dll and the .cab file are placed in the same directory when building the msi file.  Is it possible for a dll method to access files in the installer, before the files are actually copied over to the installation directory? Perhaps they are placed in a temp folder first?

Any help would be appreciated,

 

Thanks,

 

Tawanda
