In all of his examples (which I read yesterday), NONE of his functions have any parameters. I have been handed (and told to use) VB Script functions like: ' Execute a given command and route console output ' to the MSI log. Function Exec(cmd) ... and ' Write a message to the MSI log. Function LogInfo(msg) ... and ' Get the value of a property defined in the MSI. Function GetProperty(name) ... I need to pass cmd into the function Exec, and msg into LogInfo, and name into GetProperty as parameters (not properties). Is there a way to do that within Wix? Or, do I need to create a workaround (put the parameters into properties, and a flag as to which function to call into another and call a wrapper function that pulls the parameters out of the properties, and then calls the proper function with the proper parameters)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users No virus found in this incoming message.
