In other words, I am looking for a method similar to CustomActionData in Visual Studio deployment projects.
Thanks Manish -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manish Gupta Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 8:50 PM To: 'James Geurts'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NAntC-Dev] Unable to pass the updated property values to the custom action componenet Importance: High Hi, I am trying to create a msi using nantcontrib. As per the requirements, I need to ask user for the username and password for a database on which I have to perform some tasks. So I have made a custom action dll, which takes the values from the a custom dialog and passes the values which are then read by my dll using the MsiGetProperty(..) function. However, the property values read by my dll are the default values that I assigned to the property names which defining them and not the updated values which the user sets during installation. Can you please tell as to where am I wrong? Also I tried defining the property as dynamic, but it throws an exception of attribute not defined. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Manish C++ Code snip: MsiGetProperty(hModule, "DBUserName", szUsername, &dwLen); Nant script: <project name="PRODUCTInstaller" default="msi" > <property name="product.name" value="PRODUCT" />
