Why are you re-inventing the wheel? Util:XmlFile and Util:XmlConfig are quite serviceable and give you full rollback support.
Scheduling depends. There's no one magic value. Since you should be using a deferred action, you'll be limited to the range after CostFinalize to before InstallFinalize. The file must exist before you can edit it, so InstallFiles will need to have been run first. That leaves you after InstallFiles to before InstallFinalize. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Brian Enderle [mailto:bria...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2014 12:24 PM To: WiX Users Subject: [WiX-users] When to call CustomAction I am trying to run a CA after setting up a website to modify the web.config file based on the IIS version being used. What should I use for the "After" value (in the InstallExecuteSequence) to make sure the CustomAction executes after the website is installed? Here is the code I am using: <Product> ... <InstallExecuteSequence> <!-- Only execute on install (not repair or uninstall) --> <Custom Action='WebConfigProperties' After='InstallServices'>NOT Installed AND NOT REMOVE</Custom> <Custom Action='UpdateWebConfig' After='WebConfigProperties'>NOT Installed AND NOT REMOVE</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> </Product> <!-- Includes setup info for installing IIS information --> <Fragment> <!-- Create a component group so we only have to make one reference in Product.wxs --> <ComponentGroup Id="IISConfiguration"> <ComponentRef Id="InstallWebsite" /> <ComponentRef Id="InstallAppPool" /> </ComponentGroup> <!-- Get username / password from AcctInfoDlg.wxs --> <!--<util:User Id="WebAppPoolUser" Name="[IISSERVICEACCOUNT]" Password="[IISPASSWORD]" ></util:User>--> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLFOLDER_FOXPROCONNECTWS"> <!-- Setup application pool information using IISSERVICEACCOUNT from AcctInfoDlg.wxs --> <Component Id="InstallAppPool" Guid="$(var.AppPoolGUID)" KeyPath="yes"> <iis:WebAppPool Id="FoxProConnectWS" Name="FoxProConnectWS" Identity="applicationPoolIdentity" ManagedPipelineMode="Integrated" ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" /> </Component> <!-- Create the website in IIS --> <Component Id="InstallWebsite" Guid="$(var.WebsiteGUID)" KeyPath="yes"> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="WebSiteVirtualDir" Alias="FoxProConnectWS" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER_FOXPROCONNECTWS" WebSite="FoxProWebsite" > <iis:WebApplication Id="WebSiteApp" Name="FoxProConnectWS" Isolation="medium" WebAppPool="FoxProConnectWS" /> </iis:WebVirtualDir> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <!-- These 'website's are defined outside of the 'DirectoryRef' so as to create the websites under the 'Default Web Site' entry in IIS --> <iis:WebSite Id="FoxProWebsite" Description="FoxProConnectWS" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER_FOXPROCONNECTWS" > <iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80" /> </iis:WebSite> <Binary Id="CustomAction.CA" SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)CustomActions\bin\$(var.Configuration)\CustomActions.CA.dll" /> <CustomAction Id="WebConfigProperties" Return="check" Property="UpdateWebConfig" Value="FoxProConnectWSPath=[INSTALLFOLDER_FOXPROCONNECTWS];FoxProPath=[FOXPROPATH]" /> <CustomAction Id="UpdateWebConfig" BinaryKey="CustomAction.CA" DllEntry="UpdateWebConfigCustomAction" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="check" /> </Fragment> Brian If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
