Hi,
I'm developing WIX extension which creates number of custom tables. One of
them is similar to InstallExecuteSequence, another one is similar to
CustomAction table. Don't ask me why, I just need it ;)
Tables look as follows:
<tableDefinition name="MyExecuteSequence">
<columnDefinition name="Action" type="string" length="128"
primaryKey="yes" category="identifier"/>
<columnDefinition name="Condition" type="string" length="255"
nullable="yes" />
<columnDefinition name="Sequence" type="number" length="4"/>
<columnDefinition name="Text" type="string" length="128" nullable="yes"
/>
<columnDefinition name="Flags" type="number" length="4" nullable="yes"
/>
</tableDefinition>
<tableDefinition name="MyCustomAction">
<columnDefinition name="Key" type="string" length="128" primaryKey="yes"
category="identifier"/>
<columnDefinition name="Module" type="string" length="128"
nullable="no"/>
<columnDefinition name="Condition" type="string" length="255"
nullable="yes"/>
<columnDefinition name="Exe" type="string" length="255" nullable="no" />
<columnDefinition name="Install" type="string" length="128"
nullable="yes"/>
<columnDefinition name="Uninstall" type="string" length="128"
nullable="yes"/>
<columnDefinition name="Flags" type="number" length="4" nullable="yes"/>
</tableDefinition>
Action column in MyExecuteSequence may be one of predefined actions or link
to MyCustomAction table, so I can't set foreign key there - just like in
InstallExecuteSequence. To get some basic validation, in MyExecuteSequence
parsing code I'm trying to create simple reference to MyCustomAction table:
switch (attrib.LocalName)
{
case "Action":
if (isCustomAction)
{
action =
extension.Core.GetAttributeIdentifierValue(sourceLineNumbers, attrib);
extension.Core.CreateWixSimpleReferenceRow(sourceLineNumbers,
"MyCustomAction", action);
}
else
{
extension.Core.UnexpectedAttribute(sourceLineNumbers, attrib);
}
break;
...
WIX source code:
<my:CustomAction Id="custom1" Module="Core" Exe="myca.exe"
Install="/install" Uninstall="/uninstall"/>
<my:ExecuteSequence>
<my:RunCustomAction Action="custom1" Text="executing custom1"
Sequence="1000"/>
</my:ExecuteSequence>
Unfortunately when I try to compile it, I always get
error LGHT0094: Unresolved reference to symbol 'MyCustomAction:custom1' in
section 'Fragment:'.
I checked .wixpdb file and MyCustomAction table is there, with custom1 in
'Key' column which is primary key of this table, so I have no idea what's
wrong.
If I remove creating reference - compilation succeeds, but I have no
validation then.
Any ideas how to make it work?
