I am using WixStdBA in Wix 3.8 with a BAFunction.DLL (which is similar to
using the Extended BA in Wix 3.7).
In the BAFunction DLL (under a debugger) I can use this-> to access member
variables including this->pEngine. But I am trying to drill down and check
what was passed in on the command line. The debugger shows my test string
in m_pEngineState.command.wzCommandLine.
So the tree in the debugger is:
this
m_pEngine
[CEngineForApplication]
m_pEngineState
command
wzCommandLine "Var=Test"
My hope was to be able to detect this command line value in OnStart or
OnDetect. Any ideas on how to do this?
Declaring a variable in the wxs file as Overridable is not detected until
OnDetectComplete, so I was hoping for earlier detection to alter my
configuration tests which are implemented in OnDetect.
Any thoughts are appreciated. My backup plan is to use the registry rather
than a command line switch, which should work.
The higher level problem is that sometimes this bundle will be deployed as a
product and sometimes it will be deployed as a child of another non-Wix
configuration process, and in that situation I need to signal to the bundle
that it does not need to enforce business rules, which are necessary when
deployed as a standalone product.
I appreciate the assistance (and the added capability of the BAFunction.DLL
in the Wix 3.8 tool set.)
