Guys,
It is getting closer but still not quite right. Well it is right from the
point of view that I got it to work without passing parameters. Now I want
to pass parameters but it is not working again.
Here is what I have now.
<Property Id="QtExecInstall" Value='"perl" "[INSTALLDIR]first.pl"
install'/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExec" BinaryKey="wixca" DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="immediate" Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="wixca" src="c:\wix_v2_orig\wixca.dll"/>
<Property Id="QtExecDeInstall" Value=""perl"
"[INSTALLDIR]first.pl deinstall""/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExecu" BinaryKey="wixca" DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="immediate" Return="check"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="QtExec" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="QtExecu" After="InstallFinalize">Installed AND NOT
REINSTALL</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Looking in the log file I have
Property(S): QtExecInstall = "perl" "[INSTALLDIR]first.pl" install
Property(S): QtExecDeInstall = "perl" "[INSTALLDIR]first.pl deinstall"
I've tried variouls combinations of quoting but nothing seems to work,
Another example being
Property(S): QtExecInstall = "perl" "[INSTALLDIR]first.pl" "install"
Property(S): QtExecDeInstall = "perl" "[INSTALLDIR]first.pl deinstall"
Any idea?
