I found it was not on the DLL custom action but on the next custom action that the
error was occuring. I have the following:
<customaction action="GetLOCNames" type="1"
source="PPCINSTALLATIONSUPPORT" target="ReadLocDBValues" />
<customaction action="ConfigureLOC1" type="2" source="OSQL" target="-E
-n -d [SQLLoc1] -S [SQLServer] -i \"[TARGETDIR]/PPC_LOC_DML.SQL\"" />
<customaction action="ConfigureLOC2" type="2" source="OSQL" target="-E
-n -d [SQLLoc2] -S [SQLServer] -i \"[TARGETDIR]/PPC_LOC_DML.SQL\"" />
<customaction action="ConfigureDDL" type="2" source="OSQL" target="-E
-n -d [SQLCatalog] -S [SQLServer] -i \"[TARGETDIR]/PPC_DDL.SQL\"" />
<customaction action="ConfigureDML" type="2" source="OSQL" target="-E
-n -d [SQLCatalog] -S [SQLServer] -i \"[TARGETDIR]/PPC_DML.SQL\"" />
The first one which is a DLL (type 1) custom action seems to return just fine. The
next four seem to be where the problem is. If I add an option to "continue and ignore
the return" (changing the 2 to a 66) the package gets installed. I notice that when it
gets installed some screens flash before me that don't look right but they happen too
quickly for me to see what is wrong with the output. I looked in the log using msiexec
and the output from these custom actions is not recorded. My question is how can I get
the output from these custom actions, particularly when there is an error? I believe
the osql process is really failing so I would like to see why and I am not sure how to
go about it. Any ideas?
Also the service table seems to be completely ignored. I copied the service
installation directly from the wiki but I don't see any services installed and I did
not see any errors in the log. I also could use some help with this.
Thanks again.

Subject: Installing .msi package from <msi> fatal error on target.
First, thank you for your help so far. I could not have gotten this far without some
assistance.
The package is building and the customaction seems to run OK but I am getting an error
that I am not sure how to handle. The good news:
Using msiexec I found that the properties that are set in my custom action are getting
set:
Property(S): SQLDatabaseCatalog = PPCTSW5LOC2
Property(S): SQLLoc1 = PPCTSW5LOC1
Property(S): SQLLoc2 = PPCTSW5LOC2
These properties are correct and they only could be set using the custom action. So
that is some good news. But right after that in the log I get:
MSI (c) (8C:A8): Back from server. Return value: 1603
MSI (c) (8C:A8): Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If counter >= 0, shutdown
will be denied. Counter after decrement: -1
Action ended 22:10:02: ExecuteAction. Return value 3.
MSI (c) (8C:A8): Doing action: FatalError
Action start 22:10:02: FatalError.
DEBUG: Error 2826: Control BottomLine on dialog FatalError extends beyond the
boundaries of the dialog to the right by 5 pixels
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may
indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2826. The arguments are:
FatalError, BottomLine, to the right
Action 22:10:02: FatalError. Dialog created
Action ended 22:10:04: FatalError. Return value 2.
Action ended 22:10:04: INSTALL. Return value 3.
It seems that it is complaining about the size of a control. How do I disable this
control or is there another interpretation of the error?
Thank you for your continued support.
Kevin
