[WiX-users] Trim trailing slash from property to use as physicalPath in IIS7 appcmd?

2009-04-10 Thread Jason Birch
Hi all, To create a new application/vdir in IIS7, I'm using a custom action to set a property to an appcmd.exe command line, and then executing that command with CAQuietExec. Here's what the property assignment looks like: CustomAction Id=MapGuideIIS7_CreateMapGuideApp_Cmd

I know that using custom actions written in C# is not a very good idea, but it happened we are using it in our project. I experience very exasperating problem with my dll. SOMETIMES, when I add new custom action to my cs-file, some custom action that worked good previously starts to return

Are you using P/Invoke (DllImportAttribute) for any custom actions? If the referenced DLL is not available in the system PATH environment variable you will see this. This is common for native debug builds, but for managed CAs you shouldn't see this unless you're referencing an assembly that you're

When is this dialog spawned? After and before what events? It also seems that your custom actions aren't scheduled and executing at the proper time. No UI should ever be displayed for those CAs, and they should be executed when the progress dialog is displayed. Any machine state-changing CAs

You could just install the files to (for example) somewhere in the Temp folder. Make sure the installer component guids are null so that they're not registered or managed by MSI, and then remove them when your code (or your custom action) doesn't need them. Phil Wilson -Original
