Hi Yan, Thanks for the reply. I do actually want the custom action to execute deferred...that was intentional. However, your information the the CustomActionData property is helpful.

If you mark it as immediate, you'll be able to access the Database property and read the properties. In deferred actions you are supposed to use special CustomActionData property to read the data from. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Amy Rosewater [mailto:arosewa...@spectrumhr.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 5:28 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] question about DTF Session object Hi All, I have an install in which I have written custom actions using C# and DTF. One of my custom actions that I have written is scheduled to execute after RemoveFolders during uninstall only. It is not working as expected, and when I debug into my custom action I find that the Session object does not have values for most of the properties from my install. Additionally the database is not accessible. Is there anyone who can give me more information about when the properties and database from the session will still be available?
