Hi all,
I am trying to set a property called SQLSERVER like below. What I am trying to
do is that I take registry value as its value if exist. If it doesn't exist, I
should take computername as default value. And user should be able to override
this value by specifying it in msiexec.exe's command line.
<Property Id='SQLSERVER' Value='[ComputerName]'>
<RegistrySearch Id='RepositoryLocation'
Key='SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyProduct\MyVersion\MyComponent'
Name='RepositoryServer'
Root='HKLM'
Type='raw'
/>
When I build this, I get exception like below:
Myserver.wxs(50) : warning CNDL1077 : The 'SQLSERVER' Property contains
'[ComputerName]' in its value which is an illegal reference to another
property. If this value is a string literal, not a property reference, please
ignore this warning. To set a property with the value of another property, use
a CustomAction with Property and Value attributes.
I am trying to figure out I can do this by using CustomAction, but adding below
generates another compilation error:
<CustomAction Property='SQLSERVER' Value='[COMPUTERNAME]'/>
candle.exe : error CNDL0001 : Cannot set column 'Action' with a null value
because this is a required field.
Can someone kindly teach me how I can solve this?
Thanks,
Sunghwa
