I am currently trying to get a series of custom actions to execute off a Dialog
'Next' PushButton control in the InstallUISequence in order to display them in
the fields of a following UI dialog. I have confirmed that all my custom
actions are set to execute immediately. (not deferred) When I run through and
click the control, there is no evidence of it even trying to fire the Actions
in the log. (using /lvx switch on msiexec to install) Below is the first action
in the sequence (and the most complex) with the ones that come after dependent
on the output of this action and the Property it sets to build a series of
strings.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
The VBScript below takes the Property 'P.ORGNAME' as an input, which is entered
on the UI where I am trying to tie this action to the 'Next' button of.
<!-- Custom Action for Pascal Case of Org Name for Content / Theme -->
<Property Id="P.PascalCase">
<![CDATA[Function PascalCase()
orgname = Session.Property("P.ORGNAME")
orgArray = Split(orgname, " ", -1, 1)
orgNamePascal = ""
For Each word in orgArray
word = Ucase(left(word, 1)) + right(word, len(word)-1)
orgNamePascal = orgNamePascal + word
Next
Session.Property("P.CONTENT") = orgNamePascal
End Function]]></Property>
<CustomAction Id="A.ContentName" VBScriptCall="PascalCase"
Property="P.PascalCase" Execute="immediate" />
Custom dialog definition.
<UI>
<Dialog Id="GetOrgDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="Organisation
Information">
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="Next">
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="A.ContentName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="A.SetSQLDBName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetADataFileName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetALogFileName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetBDataFileName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetBLogFileName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="A.SetBDBName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetASQLUserName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetBSQLUserName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="A.SetCSQLUserName"></Publish>
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="GetDirDlg">1</Publish>
</Control>
On clicking the 'Next' PushButton control, the new dialog is launched but there
is no indication of even an attempt to trigger any of the actions sequenced
there. As mentioned above, all the actions after A.ContentName depend on the
output of that action to set a number of properties. All the properties in
question are configured as Public Properties (all declared in Upper Case)
If I didn't require the A.ContentName action to be executed I would look to
convert most of the actions over to simply setting a property based off the
dialog (eg: Property="PROPERTY" Value="VALUE"), but I need that to execute
first.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
