I have several deferred Custom Actions that are conditioned to run only on
XP or W7
All are using a variation on the same condition either
<![CDATA[VersionNT>=600]]> for W7 or Vista
or
<![CDATA[VersionNT<600]]> for XP
Just to ward off any comments about Win 2000 and older this installer is
targeted for
hardware that our company makes and distributes and isn't intended to be
installed anywhere else.
All of the custom actions execut when intended except ScheduleStartRecorder
which should never
execute on an XP platform except that it does.
Here's an excerpt from the /l*v log run on an XP box. (It doesn't fail on
Windows 7 with the same sequence)
*****************
MSI (s) (78:40) [10:14:10:937]: Doing action: ScheduleStartRecorder
MSI (s) (78:40) [10:14:10:937]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText
Action ended 10:14:10: ScheduleStartRecorder_Cmd. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (78:B8) [10:14:10:937]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSIBE.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec64
MSI (s) (78!88) [10:14:11:109]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting QtExec64CmdLine
property. Its current value is '"C:\WINDOWS\system32\SCHTASKS.EXE" /CREATE
/F /TN "start VIPER" /XML "C:\Program
Files\VayTek\Recorder\StartRecorderSchedule.xml"'.
Action start 10:14:10: ScheduleStartRecorder.
CAQuietExec64: ERROR: Invalid argument/option - '/XML'.
CAQuietExec64: Type "SCHTASKS /CREATE /?" for usage.
CAQuietExec64: Error 0x80070001: Command line returned an error.
CAQuietExec64: Error 0x80070001: CAQuietExec64 Failed
*****************
It's actually a good thing that it fails but why it is executing at all is a
mystery.
Another peculiar thing that I would like to understand is that this command
along with all the others
is either attempting or actually running 5 different times according to the
log.
The above sequence is repeated 3 times altogether.
and the below is repeated twice.
********************
MSI (s) (78:2C) [10:13:44:578]: Skipping action: ScheduleStartRecorder
(condition is false)
********************
Here are the custom action and schedule sequence declarations.
Any help would be appreciated - I have a work around at the moment (it fails
with return="ignore" but the way this
project is going I'm going to have to depend on this logic sometime in the
near future.
