I am trying to use StrAllocSecure to insure that an LPWSTR has sufficient
buffer size to subsequently try and copy a CRYPT_INTEGER_BLOB
<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381414(v=vs.85).aspx>
structure's buffer into the LPWSTR, for the purpose of passing this to
WcaAddTempRecord (after prepending L"#x").
When I call StrAllocSecure (or related functions) I then hit code in
AllocHelper which returns E_OUTOFMEMORY. The blob size, for this test, is
154 bytes (and I tried adding more to it as a test, for a cch around 195,
decimal). When I add 'DWORD test = MAXDWORD / sizeof(WCHAR);' to a source
file it evaluates to 2,147,483,647 so I do not understand why the if block
evaluates as TRUE in AllocHelper at:
if (cch >= MAXDWORD / sizeof(WCHAR))
{
hr = E_OUTOFMEMORY;
ExitOnFailure1(hr, "Not enough memory to allocate string of size:
%u", cch);
}
Any thoughts? (and any advice on how to use StrUtil (or other wix lib) to
insert the blob BYTE array into a LPWSTR for WcaAddTempRecord. It would be
so cool to let MSI manage the rollback rather than writing a deferred CA to
call win32 registry api.)
Thanks for your time!
FYI - I am using wix 3.10.0.1502 at this time.
