I have a immediate CA that setups some properties which build path
information for me to use when I setup a virtual directory, for example:
<CustomAction Id="SetVDDIR" Property="VDDIR"
Value="[MAINDIR]web\v$(env.MAJOR_REVISION)" />
<CustomAction Id="SetWEBDIR" Property="WEBDIR" Value="[MAINDIR]web" />
Then I have a the following as my <InstallExecuteSequence>:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetVDDIR" After="AppSearch" />
<Custom Action="SetWEBDIR" After="AppSearch" />
<Custom Action="SetDBWIZEXE" After="AppSearch" />
<Custom Action="SetupWebSiteDefer" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="RegNetDefer" After="SetupWebSiteDefer" />
<Custom Action="LaunchFile" After="RegNetDefer">NOT
REINSTALL="ALL"</Custom>
<Custom Action="RemoveWebSrv"
After="InstallValidate">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom>
<Custom Action="BreakdownWebSite"
After="RemoveWebSrv">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom>
<Custom Action='NoDowngrade'
After='FindRelatedProducts'>NEWERFOUND</Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts After='InstallFinalize' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
When I get to the "SetupWebSiteDefer" CA (which is a deferred VBScript CA)
it uses Session.Property to get the values for the properties VDDIR and
WEBDIR, however they are blank. When I look at the verbose log I can see
where the values are being set correctly before the "SetupWebSiteDefer" CA
is being called. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? TIA.
Here is the log:
These are listed first in the log....

The script that blew up is trying to find the web.config file in the VDDIR
path and the vbscript thinks that Session.Property("VDDIR") = "" so it looks
for the file in the following path "\web.config" which of course does not
exist.
