Hi, I'm creating an x64 install for a product that creates Microsoft Exchange 2007 transport agents. MS Exchange 2007 only runs on x64.
I think I'm running into a problem where MSI WixCA CAQuietExec custom actions are run as 32-bit even on a 64-bit installer as Bob Arnson posted; http://www.nabble.com/CAQuietExec-custom-action---launching-64-bit-exe-t d13531382.html#a13577275 "There isn't currently a 64-bit build of the WiX custom actions as we haven't needed them. This is another instance where we either need 64-bit CAs or to code the 32-bit CAs to support being run with 64-bit data. Please enter a feature request so we can track the need. There's no workaround I can think of." I have a command that works correctly when run via Start | Run and have put it into a custom action using WixCA CAQuietExec. My verbose install log contains this error; CAQuietExec: Command ". 'C:\Program Files\messagegate\Exchange\AgentUtil.ps1' STATUS" could not be executed because some Windows PowerShell snap-ins did not load. CAQuietExec: Error 0xffff0000: Command line returned an error. CAQuietExec: Error 0xffff0000: CAQuietExec Failed Action ended 8:22:31: MG_CA_Agent_Status1. Return value 1. This msdn blog http://tinyurl.com/66pc87 says; "Likewise, if you are automating Powershell from an application it must be compiled for 64-bit in order to load the Exchange Management Shell snap-in." So, I think I'm blocked for my particular application. I'm posting mostly to get confirmation that nothing has changed to resolve this in the last few months. Thanks, Dale FYI - the command my install invokes looks like this; (all one line -- replacing [WixProperties] as necessary) "cmd.exe" /c [System64Folder]windowspowershell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -PSConsoleFile "[ProgramFiles64Folder]\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Bin\ExShell.psc1" -Command ". '[MG_ROOT]Exchange\AgentUtil.ps1' INSTALL" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
