Hi,

You can find out your machine name directly from the registry:

<Property Id="MACHINE_NAME">
      <RegistrySearch   Id="EvsRegistrySearchMachineName" 
                                Root="HKLM" 
                                Type="raw" 
                                Name="Hostname" 
                                
Key="SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\"/>
</Property>
   
And then you can display the property MACHINE_NAME in your dialog box.


Best regards,
Nicholas

Subject: [WiX-users] How to pass parameter to Custom Action

Hi Everyone,

I need to pass the Computer Name as a parameter to the Wix file and also want 
to display the Computer Name in the Customized Action. I have a Customized 
Action Dialog which should display the client machine name in a text box. 

Is there any way to acheive this? I am using Wix 2.0 and .NET 2005.

Thanks in advance
Prabhakaran
