Hi WiX experts,
before I wave the "bug" flag, being relatively new to WiX, I am asking you
to review this problem, and probably give me advice how to circumvent the
following weirdness:
my xml is:
<CustomAction Id="Rebuild" FileKey="_Update.exe"
ExeCommand="/Path:"[MyDataPath]"" Return="asyncWait">NOT
Installed</CustomAction>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="Rebuild" After="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Since [MyDataPath] does most likely point to a "documents and settings\...."
subfolder, I enclosed the command line parameter in double quotes by adding
".
The installation runs through, but when my program "update.exe" gets
executed, it complains about a non-existing path passed via tha /Path
parameter:
"Unable to find directory: "C:\documents"
It's obvious, that the msi did not pass the path enclosed in "..." like I
intended, but instead passed " literally to the called program, messing
up its command line parser. This is somehow strange, because there are lots
of samples around showing ExeCommand attributes with enclosed "
expressions. Either nobody ever actually tried this, or there is something
really weird going on in my machine ... but I cannot see any obvious reason,
the source code above is, in my opinion, correct, and the symptoms are
clear.
Candle.exe and Light.exe are both 3.0.5419.0.
Any hints?
Thanks,
AL.
