Adjust that to
PMSIHANDLE database = MsiGetActiveDatabase(hInstall);
if (database == 0)
; //handle the error somehow and exit
If (MsiDatabaseOpenView(database, "SELECT 'Data' FROM 'Binary' WHERE
'Name'= 'Hasp'", phView) != ERROR_SUCCESS)
; // handle the error somehow and exit
If you're more interested in getting it done quickly then you can use
ExtractBinary from the wix wcautil/dutil libraries. Its mentioned in these
links

Peter,
I know now what you mean:
extern "C" UINT __stdcall InstallDrivers(MSIHANDLE hInstall) {
MsiGetActiveDatabase(hInstall);
MsiDatabaseOpenView(hInstall, "SELECT 'Data' FROM 'Binary' WHERE 'Name'
= 'Hasp'", phView);
MsiRecordReadStream(*phView, 1, szBuffer, &cbBuf);
CreateFile(szBuffer, GENERIC_WRITE,FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); }
Debugging throws up no errors it just ends the setup prematurely.
Kind Regards,
Natalie Carr

The argument to MsiDatabaseOpenView should be a handle to a database. That
would be there return value of MsiGetActiveDatabase. MsiGetActiveDatabase
takes and argument of an installation session which is what the custom action
is passed on entry. You've passed and uninitialized database handle to both
calls.

Subject: [WiX-users] Extract Binary file from MSI C++
Hi I am trying to run a custom action to extract a binary file from my WIX
installer, so far I have got this but I know it is not complete but I am not
sure where I am going wrong. I am using a C++ Custom Action and the file is
an exe. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
MsiGetActiveDatabase(hDatabase);
MsiDatabaseOpenView(hDatabase, "SELECT 'Data' FROM 'Binary' WHERE 'Name'
= 'Hasp'", phView);
MsiRecordReadStream(*phView, 1, szBuffer, &cbBuf);
CreateFile(szBuffer, GENERIC_WRITE,FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
Kind Regards,
Natalie Carr
