I'm making an installer which must configure a web service it installs. It
dynamically generates properties which hold the data collected from the
user in the UI sequence, installs the service and sets the parameters.
SetParams CA uses dynamic properties generated in the UI sequence. To
access data in deferred CA, I've created an immediate CA which dynamically
extracts session data and puts it in the CustomActionData.
<CustomAction Id='SaveParams' BinaryKey='Setup.CustomAction'
DllEntry='SaveParameters' Execute='immediate' Return='check'/>
<CustomAction Id='SetParams' BinaryKey='Setup.CustomAction'
DllEntry='SetParameters' Execute='deferred' Impersonate='no'
Return='check' />
<Custom Action='SaveParams' Before='SetParams'><![CDATA[REMOVE <>
"ALL"]]></Custom>
<Custom Action='SetParams' Before='InstallFinalize'><![CDATA[REMOVE
<> "ALL"]]></Custom>
Following is the part of SaveParameters method in the custom action
customActionData.Append(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
"{0}={1};", propertyName, session[propertyName]));
This approach works! When started from admin cmd session[propertyName]
returns the correct value, but when I run the installer change from
non-elevated cmd prompt, I cannot access the property values in the
immediate CA - session[propertyName] returns empty string ?!
I can access the (static) property defined in wxs file
<Property Id="INSTALL" Secure="yes" />
but not the one's I've added in some other immediate custom action in the
UI sequence like this
session[property] = "VALUE"; //eq. property = DATABASENAME
Does anyone have any idea why I cannot read the dynamic public property
value?
