Subject: [WiX-users] MSI CustomAction - PowerShell
Hi,
I have a Type 51 QtExecCmdLine CustomAction with a Target of
(all one line)
"PowerShell.exe" -NoLogo -Noninteractive -Command "& {
$fn='[MG_ROOT]MG_CONFIG' ; if (Test-Path $fn) {$fn_orig='$fn' + '.orig';
Copy-Item $fn $fn_orig; cat $fn_orig | % { $_ -replace
'^local.*','local_ip_address=[MG_IP_LISTBOXVALUES]' > $fn } }else{ echo
'local_ip_address=[MG_IP_LISTBOXVALUES]' > $fn } }"
When I look at my verbose install logs, I see;
"PowerShell.exe" -NoLogo -Noninteractive -Command "& $fn='C:\Program
Files\messagegate\MG_CONFIG' ; if (Test-Path $fn) {$fn_orig='$fn' +
'.orig' ; Copy-Item $fn $fn_orig; cat $fn_orig | % { $_ -replace
'^local.*','local_ip_address=10.10.1.5' > $fn }else echo
'local_ip_address=10.10.1.5' > $fn }"
If you look very carefully, you see that a set of braces around the
"else" portion of the command have been stripped.
I don't understand why most of the braces come though fine, but these
few don't.
Thanks,
Dale
