I have a custom action that does not log no matter what method is used to
turn logging on. Even though it executes correctly. I can see the property
being set in the log and the custom action begin and end.
Code example (made generic):
extern "C" UINT __stdcall MyCustomAction(MSIHANDLE install)
{
CUSTOM_ACTION_BEGIN
{
HRESULT hr = ::WcaInitialize(install, "MyCustomAction");
if (FAILED(hr))
{
return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
}
::WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Establishing MyCustomAction");
std::wstring info = GenerateInfo();
SaveMsiProperty(install, L"REGISTEREDINFO", info);
::WcaLog(LOGMSG_VERBOSE, "Info is %S", info);
return ::WcaFinalize(ERROR_SUCCESS);
}
CUSTOM_ACTION_END
}
Based on research it appears there is a bug in wcautil that prevent deferred
custom actions from logging. Looking into this I found the following:
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/07/15/verbose-logging-from-wcautil/
In the comments is the mention of a bug being created in 2008.
I did find a similar bug on SouceForge: ID 1845036.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1845036&group_id=105970&atid=642714
This bug was closed because they weren't sure how to reproduce it. I have
been able to consistently reproduce this through use of deferred custom
actions. Logging works as expected in my non-deferred custom actions.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? If not is there a method to
re-open the bug or should I submit a new one?
I did try this in a 3.5 based build and the same problem still existed.
