That's irrelevant. It's like saying "my code worked on XP why doesn't it work on Vista"? You have to give us more information than a fragment of code and the assertion that it worked an old install but not in the new.
As Bob says, you must have an immediate custom action in your sequence that will set the CustomActionData value that you're trying to get via your MsiGetProperty code (and that doesn't mean you set a property called CustomActionData). Without that, it makes no difference if your *code* is the same in the new install as the old install, or that it looks the same in Orca. It must be preceded with an immediate custom action to set the value. Post your code. It might help. For example, if you're trying to get the value of the CustomActionData property as you stated before, why don't you have that string in your MsiGetProperty code instead of szName?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MsiGetProperty failed on new CA The 'MsiGetProperty(hInstall, szName, TEXT(""), &nSizeCount); ' works great on the old CA, the old & new CA content in Orca are exactly the same (on the CustomAction table) - except for the target column of course. the InstallSeqance table contains both new & old CAs.
