You have to call WcaInitialize in your method before you can call
WcaLog. You also need to call WcaFinalize before you exit the method.
So your last line could look something like:
return WcaFinalize(ERROR_SUCCESS);

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Logging in a custom action
I was able to resolve my build errors by "defining" everything
missing myself (to /**/ ).
I read that they might be defined by default in VS05, but not in
VS03 (what I'm using.)
However, I rebuilt my installer with the new DLL and ran it with
*cv logging, and I still don't see anything.
The CA call seems to execute properly in all other regards.
I put a WcaLog statement as the first line in my method.
extern "C" UINT __stdcall VerifyLicenseDir(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Enter VerifyLicenseDir");
Here's the section of log where I expected to see some output.
MSI (c) (4C:98) [13:21:11:484]: Doing action: VerifyLicenseDir

Any thoughts?

Thanks, that looks like what I wanted.
I'm having trouble linking everything correctly though, and I
get a ton of errors in wcautil.h, like
"E:\Program Files\WiX\sdk\inc\wcautil.h(48): error C2065: '__in'
: undeclared identifier"
And
"E:\Program Files\WiX\sdk\inc\wcautil.h(48): error C2182:
'WcaGlobalInitialize' : illegal use of type 'void'"
I've tried to include dutil.lib and wcautil.lib. Is there
something else that needs to be configured to use wcautil.lib
(specifically WcaLog)?
