Thanks Blair! You are very helpful. I did see that link, but was hoping it was wrong because I'm able to get any property using the vbscript ca's. Thanks for the warning about different platforms. We test on several, but I'll probably get bit with that eventually, so I will make changes to use the CustomActionData.
Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 1:08 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Properties and Custom Actions According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa370543.aspx deferred custom actions, both those written in script and those that compiled, can only access the following three properties: CustomActionData, ProductCode, or UserSID. If you are seeing different, it is a happy error in the version of MSI you are using and may not work on other platforms. Except for the ProductCode and UserSID properties, all other properties need to be feed in via the CustomActionData property (which is always a property named identically to the deferred action's name). -----Original Message----- From: Scharp, Craig [mailto:craig.sch...@zytax.com] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 8:20 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Properties and Custom Actions Hi all, I have noticed that if I have a deferred custom action in vbscript, I can reference properties using Session.Property"Propertyname"). But, in a c# deferred custom action using the session object, that same property is not available to me using session["Propertyname"]. The c# ca's seem to only have access to properties for immediate ca's. Does anyone know of a way to get property values for deferred custom actions using a c# ca dll?
