Hi there,
as part of my WiX 3 setup the CeAppMgr.exe is looked up and executed.
This application is used to install software on windows CE devices (like
Windows Mobile 5/6, etc.). To do so one has to call CeAppMgr.exe with an
ini file and the user should get the information that software is beeing
installed on his or her mobile device.
If I try this on the command line everything works fine. CeAppMgr.exe
starts and begins to install the prvided ini (and thus the CAB-) file.
The same done in WiX/MSI leads to a message box, coming from
CeAppMgr.exe, that the sofware (the ini/cab) will be installed as soon
as my mobile device gets connected again. The strange thing is: In both
versions (command line and MSI) the mobile device is connected all the time.
So, have you previously encountered this problem or have an idea what is
going on? I want that CeAppMgr.exe behaves, when called from a MSI,
execatly like when it is called from the command line.
In WiX the relevant parts are (ignore the custom action conditions):
<!--CeAppMgr.Exe Lookup-->
<Property Id='SEARCH_CEAPPMGR'>
<RegistrySearch Id="CeAppMgrSearch32" Root="HKLM" Type="raw"
Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\CEAPPMGR.EXE" Win64="no"/>
</Property>
<!-- define the LaunchCeAppMgr_Install-Custom action -->
<CustomAction Id='LaunchCeAppMgr_Install'
Property='SEARCH_CEAPPMGR' ExeCommand='"[CESetupFolder]PDAAufmaß.ini"'
Return='ignore' Impersonate='no' Execute='deferred' />
<!-- Schedule the custom actions-->
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<!-- launch CeAppMgr.exe install only when we make an
installation but not when we remove the product -->
<Custom Action='LaunchCeAppMgr_Install'
Sequence='4400'><![CDATA[&PDAFeature=3 Or &PDAFeature=4]]></Custom>
<!-- launch CeAppMgr.exe without ini parameter only when we
remove the product -->
<Custom Action='LaunchCeAppMgr_Deinstall'
Sequence='4401'><![CDATA[&PDAFeature=2]]></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Is there anything wrong?
Regards, thanks in advance,
Tom
