This is'nt strictly WiX related? Though I have found Jungwook's Custom Action Debugging Tool very useful for debugging Custom Actions. http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/03/07/388739.aspx
I would double check how and where you are setting the CustomActionData and ensure your actions are all running where and when you expect with the correct action name when you schedule the deferred action. I assume you have already checked the install with verbose logging (switch it to verbose using /L*v)? -----Original Message----- From: md5hans [mailto:hans.olaus...@carmenta.com] Sent: 15 December 2008 15:05 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Reading CustomActionData property from C++ Hi!
