Hi!
I develop a merge module and have directory structure is like this:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="CLUPDIR" Name="ClUp">
<Directory Id="AGENTDIR" Name="Agent">
...
I would like to run custom action based on some condition. The condition comes
from verification of file presence. That's why I have a property filled with
verification result.
<Property Id="DBEXISTS">
<DirectorySearch Id="AGENTDIRSEARCH" Path="[AgentDirToSearch]" Depth="0">
<FileSearch Id="DBSEARCH" Name="CLUPAgent.sdf"/>
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
As you might noticed, my DirectorySearch element uses AgentDirToSearch property
in its Path attribute.
This property is set by custom action
<CustomAction Id="SetAgentDirToSearch" Property="AgentDirToSearch"
Value="[CLUPDIR]Agent" Execute="immediate"/>
schedule after InstallInitialize:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='SetAgentDirToSearch' After='InstallInitialize' />
...
What I observe is, that DBEXISTS property is never set. If I use explicit path
to the directory like, C:\Program Files\ClUp\Agent, then it works. Why is that?
Does it have something to do when property DBEXISTS is assigned? And then how
to schedule it to happen after referenced property is set?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
P.S.
Initially I've used just [AGENTDIR] in the DirectorySearch element but (most
likely due to trailing backslash) it didn't work.

Tomek Romanowski
