Hi,
Yes I'm using MsiGetProperty to get the value, the MessageBox call works, I've
done that before, and the return value is accurate, the only problem I'm having
is with the ShellExecute call, which in the same format works from an EXE I
tested with. I don't have the code with me right now, but if it's really
necessary I can post it, if somebody has some sample code to do something
similar it would also be great, all I'm trying to do is open a file after the
installer finishes, this shouldn't be so difficult.
Also, is there a way to expand Zip files that were installed? I mean, without
writing a whole Zip handler?
Regards,
Lionel

I believe that if it is a deferred CA you will have limited access to the MSI
database (The "CustomActionData" property only pretty much). Are you checking
the return value from the MsiGetProperty? Maybe post your C++ code so we can
take a look at it, but first of all, can you also throw in a MessageBox() call
to see if your CA is getting called (if you haven't already done that).

Hi,
I'm trying to write a custom action DLL that looks up an MSI variable and
then shellexecutes it, this is turning out to be extremely difficult, as if I
call ShellExecute in Win32 API (using C++), it just does nothing, everything in
the code appears to be working, but it just does nothing, is there any secret
here?
