Hi
Thanks for your answer. From how i interpret the log file the action returns
success (even if there is an exception), which is no surprise as I return this
result via C#. Here are the relevant parts from the log:

property?

Subject: [WiX-users] Accessing Source directory in Deferred Custom Action
(ApDataFolder etc. is working, just not SourceDir)
Hi
I would like to access the "SourceDir" property in a deferred custom action.
While i can access other directories via the CustomAction property (see
example below). The SourceDir ActionData remains empty. I must be doing
something wrong. I sure it's something silly, that only a wix newby can
stumble over.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
My sample code:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="TestCA.SetProperty" After="InstallInitialize"/>
<Custom Action="TestCA" After="TestCA.SetProperty"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id="TestCA.SetProperty" Return="check"
Property="TestCA"
Value="SourceDir=[SourceDir];INSTALLDIR=[INSTALLDIR];AppDataFolder=[AppDataF
older]">
</CustomAction>
<CustomAction Id="TestCA" BinaryKey="CustomActionDll" DllEntry="TestMethod"
Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" Return="check">
</CustomAction>
In the C# code:
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult TestMethod(Session session)
{
session.Log("CustomAction TestMethod called!");
.
try{
// empty
string showMe = session.CustomActionData["SourceDir"];
// working, path
string showMe = session.CustomActionData["AppDataFolder"];
