Hi Guys,
I've been writing a custom-action for detecting if a given feature is installed
on the machine. If I use it as an executable, it is fine:
<Binary Id="CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction"
SourceFile="..\CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction\bin\$(var.Build)\CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction.exe"
/>
<Property
Id="CheckWindowsFeaturesArgs"><![CDATA["WCF-NonHTTP-Activation"]]></Property>
<CustomAction Id="CheckNonHttpActivationEnabled"
BinaryKey="CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction"
Execute="immediate"
Return="check"
ExeCommand="[CheckWindowsFeaturesArgs]"/>
But if I set it up as a DLL it fails to run/load:
<Binary Id="CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction"
SourceFile="..\CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction\bin\$(var.Build)\CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction.dll"
/>
<Property
Id="CheckNonHttpActivationEnabled"><![CDATA["WCF-NonHTTP-Activation"]]></Property>
<CustomAction Id="CheckNonHttpActivationEnabled"
BinaryKey="CheckWindowsFeatureInstalledCustomAction"
Execute="immediate"
Return="check"
DllEntry="Check"/>
I've added the CustomAction attribute to my method, but I get the default DLL
error message from the installer when I run it.
I've switched back to using as an executable, but left the CustomAction
attribute on, along with the reference to Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller
and I get a FileNotFoundException thrown that says it could not find the
Micorsoft.Deployment.dll file.
Has anyone got an example of a working c# DLL Custom Action, preferably that
accepts a parameter?
Many thanks,
J.
