I have a custom action where I'm trying to use SourceDir. I don't think SourceDir is accessible at the point the CA will run, so I want to pass it through CustomActionData. The CA executes fine, but when I try to access CustomActionData, it's blank. I know this is probably a simple problem but I'm stuck.
Wix code: <Binary Id="CADLL" SourceFile="$(var.CustomActions.TargetDir)$(var.CustomActions.TargetName).CA.dll" /> <CustomAction Id="SetSourceDirProperty" Property="DisplaySourceDir" Value="[SOURCEDIR]"/> <CustomAction Id="DisplaySourceDir" BinaryKey="CADLL" DllEntry="DisplaySourceDir" Execute="deferred" Return="check" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SetSourceDirProperty" Before="InstallInitialize">Not Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="DisplaySourceDir" After="InstallInitialize" Overridable="yes">Not Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> C# code: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult DisplaySourceDir(Session session) { string cad = session["CustomActionData"]; MessageBox.Show("CustomActionData: '" + cad + "'."); return ActionResult.Success; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
