"wcautil" is built on top of "dutil". "WiX Custom Action Utility library" has only MSI related stuff. "Delivery Utility library" has a bunch of functions that I've collected in the many years I've been writing C++ stuff (you can find some old stuff that is of questionable quality sometimes <smile/>).
ReleaseStr() is part of dutil's "strutil.cpp/h". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Juricic Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 12:35 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How are strings allocated by Wix released these days? I've seen sample code in blogs like: hr = WcaGetProperty(L"SQLSERVERPASSWORD", &pszPassword); ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to get property"); ..... LExit: ..... ReleaseString(pszPassword); and I started following this style in my custom actions. However, I don't know how are strings supposed to be freed as wcautil has no ReleaseString function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
