Dear friends,
I am trying to run an msi on Vista, It failed. It can run on XP and
windows 2000 without any problem. For testing, I just include a very
simple custom action (dll written in VC++) called StartAtHocDSWSetup and
entrypoint: SetupDSW. Its purpose is to write CustomActionData to a
MessageBox. But the msi could not run the CA on Vista. The following is
the log information:
MSI (s) (D0:A0) [13:16:42:801]: Executing op: CacheSizeFlush(,)
MSI (s) (D0:A0) [13:16:42:801]: Executing op:
ActionStart(Name=StartAtHocDSWSetup,,)
MSI (s) (D0:A0) [13:16:42:801]: Executing op:
CustomActionSchedule(Action=StartAtHocDSWSetup,ActionType=1025,Source=Bi
naryData,Target=SetupDSW,CustomActionData=C:\Windows\Temp\6.2.1.7\^^)
MSI (s) (D0:A0) [13:16:42:847]: Creating MSIHANDLE (3) of type 790536
for thread 2208
MSI (s) (D0:40) [13:16:42:847]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\Windows\Installer\MSI16A8.tmp, Entrypoint: SetupDSW
MSI (s) (D0:40) [13:16:43:129]: Closing MSIHANDLE (3) of type 790536 for
thread 2208
Action ended 13:16:43: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
>From the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929710 link, I understand the
msiexec is 4.0 on Vista and it is default DEP enabled. The custom
action(s) must be compatible with DEP in windows vista.
Question: How can make my CA DEP compatible?
I tried to use BCDedit /set nx=AlwaysOff command to set hardware DEP off
and restart the computer. But I got the same log information when I run
the msi.
Please let me know what I can do make it work in Vista?
Thanks!
