Ah... Yep, if it's a deferred execution CA then you'll need to use the CustomActionData property to pass data to it. SecureCustomProperties is for passing data from the UI to the MSI server side. In this case you might even need both.
Have a look at Obtaining Context Information for Deferred Execution Custom Actions in MSI.CHM. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ginchereau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 November 2008 18:25 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF Property updated by RadioButton not correctly retrieved by CustomAction Also, when getting & setting properties in CAs, you probably want to use session[propertyName]. That accessor gets/sets the run-time property value, rather than the static value from the Property table. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 9:47 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF Property updated by RadioButton not correctly retrieved by CustomAction Not isolated to Vista. Actually, I suggest checking out the MSI SDK about deferred CustomActions in detail. You'll find that there are many limitations on deferred CustomActions, including the properties they can access. -----Original Message----- From: Rehan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 09:44 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF Property updated by RadioButton not correctly retrieved by CustomAction After much searching, from what I understand from here and other sources: http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Vista_and_WiX the SecureCustomProperties property has something to do with Vista and getting access rights between the client and server? I'm not sure how this would help me and what it has to do with not being able to get the refreshed value of a property.
