So to early for me, should not have sent this before morning coffee.
There is no error, just a warning and it compiles nicely.
I have done the setup to use the quiet cmd CA in the dll, but getting an
error when executing.
I use [#ConfigFile] to reference the file defined <File Id="ConfigFile",
this should work right?
And FILEPATH is a property set calling another CA dll that spawns a file
browser dialog, this has been tested and confirmed working with just a
normal ExeCommand CA. Trying to run the quiet one, it just exits with an
error (error given below).
The dll is not included in the package, but neither is my other dll and
this one runs without problems.
The other ting is that these CA are run at the end, after installation
and temp files are removed.
So if it was a case of not including WixUtilExtension.dll in the
installation , then my other CA dll (also not included in the install)
should also fail?
I'm a bit stumped on this one, any help would be appreciated. This will
also help me understand a bit more how the installer works.

Morten,
I think what you need is:
<property id="QtExecCmdLine" />
<CustomAction Id="Set_QtExecCmdLine" Property="QtExecCmdLine"
Value=".\Deploy.Tools\XmlPreprocess.exe /i [INSTALLPATH][WEBCONFIGFILE]
/s [FILEPATH] /NoLogo" />
or even
<property id="QtExecCmdLine" />
<property id="WEBCONFIGPATH" />
<property id="SETTINGSPATH" />
<CustomAction id="set_WEBCONFIGPATH" property="WEBCONFIGPATH"
value="[INSTALLPATH][WEBCONFIGFILE]" />
<CustomAction id="set_SETTINGSPATH" property="SETTINGSPATH"
value="[FILEPATH]" />
<CustomAction Id="Set_QtExecCmdLine" Property="QtExecCmdLine"
Value=".\Deploy.Tools\XmlPreprocess.exe /i [WEBCONFIGPATH] /s
[SETTINGSPATH] /NoLogo" />
What's being complained about is defining a property and
referencing another property in the Value portion of the definition.
More or less the following is a no no:
<property id="ddd" value="[anyotherprop]">
You always have to do a definition and then an explicit
assignment (via a custom action).
Regards,
Rob

Subject: [WiX-users] Setting property value with another
property value
Hi, I have a little problem trying to do this the right way.
Because I get a warning compiling when a property value is set
to [FILEPATH] and [INSTALLPATH][WEBCONFIGFILE].
The warning message hint that one should set this using a custom
action with the property and value field.
I have not tried using CA's in this way and are kinda lost. Any
help is very appreciated.
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine"
Value=".\Deploy.Tools\XmlPreprocess.exe /i
?SetWebConfigPath_Value_Here? /s ?SetSettingsPath_Value_Here? /NoLogo"/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExec" BinaryKey="WixUtilExtension"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="WixUtilExtension"
SourceFile="[ProgramFilesFolder]\Windows Installer XML
v3\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" />
<CustomAction Id="SetWebConfigPath" Property="CASetCPath"
Value="[INSTALLPATH][WEBCONFIGFILE]" />
<CustomAction Id="SetSettingsPath" Property="CASetSPath"
Value="[FILEPATH]" />
Thanks
Morten
