This log doesn't have everything I'd expect to see in it. There is no mention
of SfxCA and what CLR version is being used. Did you redact this or perhaps
this is a clue that you are never getting to your first line of managed code.
What .NET did you compile this for and what are your customaction.config
settings?

Subject: [WiX-devs] Silently failing on execution of CustomAction
Hello devs, I have created an installer which uses a CustomAction to
check if MySQL server credentials entered in a previous WiX UI are valid. On
the development machine, this is all working really well. The CustomAction is
simply: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult
CheckIfDbExists(Session session) { session.Log("Resetting
MYSQL_DB_EXISTS and MYSQL_DB_SERVER_AVAILABLE to '0'.");
session["MYSQL_DB_EXISTS"] = "0";
session["MYSQL_DB_SERVER_AVAILABLE"] = "0"; try {
// prepare the SQL connection
session.Log("Formatting the connection string"); string
connectionString = string.Format(SqlConnectionFormat,
session["MYSQL_SERVER"], session["MYSQL_USERNAME"],
session["MYSQL_PASSWORD"]); // create and open
the SQL connection session.Log("Attempting to create a
MySqlConnection"); using (var connection = new
MySqlConnection(connectionString)) {
session.Log("Attempting to open a connection to the database");
connection.Open(); session.Log("Ensuring that the
connection is open"); if (connection.State ==
ConnectionState.Open) { // the
server is available, at least
session["MYSQL_DB_SERVER_AVAILABLE"] = "1"; }
// execute the SQL statement return
ExecuteCheckDbExistStatement(session, connection); }
} catch (Exception exception) { // we
couldn't connect to the MySQL server session.Log("ERROR: Failed
during CheckIfDbExists() caused by: {0}", exception.Message);
return ActionResult.Failure; } } The output from running
this Custom Action can be found here: MSI (c) (CC:D0)

value is '**********'. Its new value: '**********'. MSI (c)

Action 11:01:04: InvalidMySqlSettingsDlg. Dialog created At a minimum, I
would expect to see "Resetting MYSQL_DB_EXISTS and MYSQL_DB_SERVER_AVAILABLE to
'0'." in the log output but I don't as you can see. The CustomAction step
fails with error 1 and I don't get anything else. I am running the installer
with full verbose logging but it doesn't seem as though the CustomAction is
being executed. With no other errors, I am not sure what to try next. As I
mentioned, it works perfectly well on the machine that I created it with. The
machine that is failing is a VirtualBox install of Windows Server 2008R2.
