Re: [WiX-users] Bug or Feature in Wix 3.6--remapping of paths to dutil.h and renaming of dutil_2010.lib to dutil.lib

CustomActionData is actually per custom action, although it sometimes appears that there is only one for all custom actions. Basically, if you have a custom action called Fred that you want to pass data into, you create an immediate set-a-property custom action (type 51 in MSI) that sets Fred to
