I am using WiX version 3.5.2519.0
If you have a Custom Action DLL and a CAQuietExec Custom Action that
needs other Windows Installer properties; set them to execute one after
the other, they do not.The CAQuietExec Custom Action that needs other
Windows Installer properties executes late in the install process, does
not execute in the order specified. Followed:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/qtexec.htm
<CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty_Cmd"
Property="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty"
Value=""[#MyExecutable.exe]"" Execute="immediate"/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no"/>
.
.
.
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty_Cmd"
After="CostFinalize"/>
<Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty"
After="TheActionYouWantItAfter"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
This is the type Custom Action (above) that does not execute in the order I
specified
using the 'After=' attribute.
I have even made a simple WXS file, same thing happens, in part:
<Binary Id="MyCustomAction.dll"
SourceFile="..\..\CustomAction1\CustomAction1\obj\x86\Release\CustomAction1.CA.dll"
/>
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction1" BinaryKey="MyCustomAction.dll"
DllEntry="CustomAction1" Execute="deferred" />
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction2" BinaryKey="MyCustomAction.dll"
DllEntry="CustomAction2" Execute="deferred" />
<CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty_Cmd"
Property="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty"
Value=""net"" Execute="immediate"/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred" Return="ignore" Impersonate="no"/>
<Property Id="QtExecDeferredExample" Value=""net""/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExample" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred" Return="ignore"
Impersonate="no"/>
..
..
..
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty_Cmd"
After="CostFinalize"/>
<Custom Action='MyCustomAction1' After='InstallFiles' />
<Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExample" After="MyCustomAction1"/>
<Custom Action='MyCustomAction2' After='QtExecDeferredExample' />
<Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty"
After="MyCustomAction2"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The Custom Action DLL is a shell that just logs a message.
Tried changing deferred to immediate and vica versa for the 'Execute='
attribute, no difference.
How can
I make these Custom Actions actually execute in order?
Thanks,
James
