1. I am on the Live Mesh team now. Very busy right now. PDC (next week) is going to be a big for us. Live Mesh is far more than Passport. <smile/>
2. If anyone is ever visiting Microsoft or Redmond in general, let me know. It'd be cool to do dinner or a beer or something. 3. MSI SDK has all the information about how to write CustomActions. There is very little about how to write CustomActions in the WiX.chm. Writing a CustomAction is a very tricky proposal. If you don't have a good grasp of the CustomAction content in MSI.chm then there are a lot of things that can trip you up. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Petersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 16:05 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action specific Error Massage Hey Rob - What group do you work in now? Was it Live Mesh? I was at that kickoff last night at building 33 for the Alumni Foundation and they gave a demo of that. Looks interesting. Sort of like Passport on steroids. I looked only at the WiX documentation in this case, not the MSI SDK. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 2:27 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action specific Error Massage AFAIK, the MSI SDK doesn't say there is a way to have a CustomAction affect the return value of the Windows Installer. Did you see a section in the MSI SDK that says this is possible? -----Original Message----- From: Chad Petersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 13:43 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action specific Error Massage According to the documentation the CustomAction Error attribute is only used with a type 19 custom action. But, in that case it looks like you use a combination of the <Error/> element to set up your string and then refer to this index number in the Error attribute of the CustomAction element. Not sure what happens if your custom action is not type 19, though. Might just ignore it. You can use Orca to see what the types are on the CustomAction table. -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Gautam (HCL Technologies Ltd) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 11:55 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Custom action specific Error Massage Hi, In my Wix code, I am executing one custom action <CustomAction Id="CA_UnInstallXXX" Directory='CVPDir' ExeCommand='"[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installUt il.exe" /u XXX.exe"' Return='Check' > </CustomAction> Some times, This custom action is failing.
