I'm using the technique shown here
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa370134.aspx
to dynamically determine the size of the buffer required. I just
removed the rest of the code because it doesn't make it that far. I've
used this technique in the past with no problem.

There's supposed to be an output buffer as the 3rd parameter whose
length is cchValueBuf.....

Subject: [WiX-users] Crash in MsiGetProperty call (did not close
MSIHANDLEs)
I'm having a problem where it appears that my custom action is
terminating during a MsiGetProperty call.
Hopefully someone could provide some insight into the issue.
I've simplified reproducing the problem to this
/* Get the Installation directory from the installer
************************/
WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Get TARGETDIR");
TCHAR* installDirBuf = NULL;
uiStat = MsiGetProperty(hInstall, TEXT("TARGETDIR"), TEXT(""),
&cchValueBuf);
return WcaFinalize(ERROR_SUCCESS);
With the return before the call to MsiGetProperty, the install completes
without issue. With the return following the MsiGetProperty call, I get
the following error in the log.
DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action AddToPaths did not close 1 MSIHANDLEs.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code
is 2769. The arguments are: AddToPaths, 1,
Action ended 15:14:15: AddToPaths. Return value 3.
