I am looking for advice on how to sort out a problem I having using WcaAddTempRecord. My immediate CA creates a BYTE array (an encrypted 'blob') which I need to write to the Registry as a REG_BINARY type value. I am trying to use WcaAddTempRecord to the Registry table, ( using the code in wix src\ext\GamingExtension\ca\caming.cpp WriteGameExplorerRegistry as an example implementation).
I can step through into WcaAddTempRecord (src\libs\wcautil\wcawrap) and it all appears to step through the columns adding the data successfully, and does not report any error. (When I first read through the code I was concerned about the comment that binary streams are not supported, but when trying to add a binary registry value that 'else' block is not hit. So I assume that the comment does not relate to adding a binary registry value.) I also found the temp named msi file and tried to inspect it with orca, after stepping past the WcaAddTempRecord call, but before running the script phase of the install, and I did not find the temporary row entry. I noticed a binary .ipi file so maybe that is where this info is held. The bottom line is that the registry value is never created, even though WcaAddTempRecord does not report any error. I also provided a variable for the MSIDBERROR dbError parameter, which was NULL in the gaming implementation. The verbose log, with the MSI debug value set to 7, indicates that the immediate CA is called and returns successfully, but I cannot find anything in the log related to the added temporary Registry table row, or the 'uniquified' ID generated in WcaAddTempRecord, etc. I also changed my code to write a string registry value, but I could not find anything related to that temporary entry either. I am looking for clues on how to track down whether the temporary row was created in the msi, or why I cannot find the entry in the registry. Thanks for any advice. (My schedule in the next few days may prevent me posting a response but I do appreciate the input.) -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WcaAddTempRecord-S-OK-but-no-results-who-to-debug-tp7600691.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
