Hi,
I'm using the following code snippet inside a function to set the property
inside COM DLL:
hr = WcaSetIntProperty(L"PROPNAME", 1);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to set PROPNAME property value");
I'm calling this function from the WIX code using Custom Action DLL Entry.
Snippet:
<Property Id ="PROPNAME" Value="0"/>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="MINE">
<Component Id="MY_COMPONENT" Guid="{43202408-8161-4116-ab7a-d51200c27b77}">
<File Id="New1" Source ="COMPONENTS.txt" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
<Component Id="MY_COMPONENT_2" Guid="{4F0EC3D4-AB5D-4C90-A12B-BF9383BFDD9C}"
>
<File Id="New2" Source="COMPONENTS2.txt"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<!--START : For Importing Custom C++ DLL -->
<Binary Id="BID_SampDLL" SourceFile="

<CustomAction Id="CA_SampDLL1" BinaryKey="BID_SampDLL" DllEntry="SetProp"
Execute="immediate" Return="check" HideTarget="no" />
<!--END : For Importing Custom C++ DLL -->
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_SampDLL1" Before="ProcessComponents">NOT Installed</

</InstallExecuteSequence>
<Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="SetupProject" Level="0" >
<Feature Id="CORE_COMPONENTS" Title="Core Components" Level="1">
<Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[PROPNAME <> 1]]></Condition>
<ComponentRef Id="MY_COMPONENT"/>
</Feature>
<Feature Id="CORE_COMPONENTS2" Title="Core Components2" Level="1">
<Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[PROPNAME2 <> 1]]></Condition>
<ComponentRef Id="MY_COMPONENT2"/>
</Feature>
</Feature>
Here in my code I'm trying to set the property so that when i run the
command:
"msiexec /i sampleInstaller.msi /qb"
Only one of my component must be installed.
Here i'm trying to attain functionality through COM DLL which would be
similar to installation using the following command:
"msiexec /i sampleInstaller.msi PROPNAME=1 /qb"
Thanks in Advance,
With Warm Regards,
Vijay Chander

Follow the Property value in a verbose log file. That'll tell you what is
going on.
