I have serious issues with suggesting that developers should write VBScript/Jscript CustomActions. Script CustomActions are only viable in highly controlled environments. I would never recommend that an ISV release a product that contains a Script CustomAction for distribution.
I've had many reports from Microsoft Product Support that the scripting engine has a lot of dependencies that have a tendency to get into states that prevents the Windows Installer from interacting with it properly. The http://www.wixwiki.com looks like "official WiX documentation" and captures some really great information. However, I think we are definitely leading developers for a long walk off a short pier with the glowing review of VBScript on the wiki right now. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob MacFadyen Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 1:26 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and PocketPC installations -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Dimmick Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 5:32 PM To: 'Ben Sion'; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and PocketPC installations ... > > I imagine that you should use a RegistrySearch to find the path to > CeAppMgr.exe, and a type 34 custom action to actually run it. > I'm not that familiar with how this works (the documentation > for <CustomAction> really needs to be broken down into examples > for each different type of custom action because it's clear as > mud right now). >-- >Mike Dimmick http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Guide_to_CustomActions And specific to type 34: http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Custom_Action_Type_34 Regards, Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
