I am attempting to run installations from a test application. I am processing
the installer messages using an External UI Handler in the external
application and running the UI in silent mode.
I would like access to the session object during the installation and can't
see a way to do this using InstallProduct. I want to be able to compare the
Property values after each of my Custom Actions has run.
Does anyone know how I can get access to the session object BETWEEN each
Custom Action using DoAction("INSTALL") or by using InstallProduct (perhaps
via the external UI Handler callback). I have tried to create a custom event
for each action type e.g. (ActionStart) and am passing the session object as
event args. However, the session object values do not change after each
custom action is run.
public class MSITestManager
{
private IntPtr parent;
private Session fSession;
public event ActionStartEventHandler CustomActionStarted;
public delegate void ActionStartEventHandler(object sender,
ActionStartEventArgs e);
public void RunInstall(string PathToMSI, string CommandLineArguments)
{
try
{
Installer.SetInternalUI(InstallUIOptions.Silent, ref parent);
ExternalUIHandler handler = new
ExternalUIHandler(ActionStartHandler);
InstallLogModes ilm =
InstallLogModes.Progress | InstallLogModes.FatalExit |
InstallLogModes.Error |
InstallLogModes.Warning | InstallLogModes.User |
InstallLogModes.Info |

InstallLogModes.OutOfDiskSpace |
InstallLogModes.ActionStart | InstallLogModes.ActionData |
InstallLogModes.CommonData | InstallLogModes.Progress |
InstallLogModes.Initialize |
InstallLogModes.Terminate | InstallLogModes.ShowDialog;
ExternalUIHandler result = Installer.SetExternalUI(handler, ilm);
fSession = Installer.OpenPackage(PathToMSI, false);
// app already installed
if (fSession["Installed"] != string.Empty)
{
fSession["REMOVE"] = "ALL";
}

fSession["LAUNCHPROGRAM"] = "1";

fSession.DoAction("NalInitialConfiguration");
//session.DoActionSequence("InstallUISequence");

catch (InstallerException e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("INSTALLER EXCEPTION -- " + e.Message);
