The same error occurs if the custom type is set to 1 or 1025 (deferred).
According to the MSI SDK, ProductCode is one of the few properties
available during a deferred custom action.
Try the code yourself
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult CATest(Session session)
{
session.Log("Begin CATest");
string sProductCode = session.GetProductProperty("ProductCode");
session.Log("sProductCode = " + sProductCode );
return ActionResult.Success;
}
Thanks

My guess is that you are running a deferred custom action, and thus have
minimal access to the data in the installer database. Did you really
want a product property or do you actually need a session property?

Subject: [WiX-users] GetProductProperty "The Handle is invalid" error
Hi,
Both a colleague and I are having the same error calling
GetProductProperty from a Managed custom action. Is this a know issue?
If not, what is the correct usage?
We both use Visual Studio 2008 and the latest version of the WIX3 build
(v3.0.4624.0). Below is a snippet from the log :
Action 15:37:53: TestCA.
Action start 15:37:53: TestCA.
SFXCA: Extracting custom action to temporary directory:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSIF3F.tmp-\

CustomAction1!CustomAction1.CustomActions.CustomAction1
Begin CustomAction1
Exception thrown by custom action:

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Simon
