Please do not email me directly, keep wix-users on the list. Most likely you have marked your custom action as deferred. Deferred custom actions can only use their custom action data property, they do not have full access to the database. The custom action data property is named the same as the custom action.
Another possibility is that you need to include the property in the SecureCustomProperties property, so that its value is passed to an elevated install. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 July 2007 05:27 To: Mike Dimmick Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Managed Code Custom Actions Sir I my problem is that from my .wxs file i am sending a property as a parameter to my function in Dll (vc++) enviornment (win 32). and in my dll function i have extracted this property in a buffer with msigetproperty.
