Are you calling this from a dialog using DoAction? If so, you won't get the
logging.

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Silently failing on execution of CustomAction
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:

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.
Thanks,
Stuart
