Hey,
This is some code that I used to do that. I think you can look into the
shellexecca.cpp<http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wix/wix/src/ca/wixca/dll/shellexecca.cpp?hideattic=1&revision=1.4&view=markup&pathrev=MAIN>
file.
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
UINT er = ERROR_SUCCESS;
LPWSTR pwzStreamToString = NULL;
BYTE* pbData = NULL;
DWORD cbData = 0;
hr = WcaInitialize(hInstall, "ScheduleMuConfig");
ExitOnFailure(hr, "failed to initialize ScheduleMuConfig");
//Extact the muauth.cab to a stream.
hr = ExtractBinary(L"MuAuthCab", &pbData, &cbData);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "failed to extract binary data");
//Write the stream to a string to be passed as CustomActionData
hr = WcaWriteStreamToCaData(pbData, cbData, &pwzStreamToString);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "failed to write the stream to a string");
hr = WcaDoDeferredAction(L"RollbackConfigMU", L"Rollback", 0);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to schedule RollbackConfigMU");
hr = WcaDoDeferredAction(L"ConfigureMU", pwzStreamToString,
COST_MU_CONFIG_TRANSACTION);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to schedule ConfigureMU");
LExit:
ReleaseStr(pwzStreamToString);
ReleaseMem(pbData);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
er = ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
}
return WcaFinalize(er);
