Are you parsing the CustomAction data directly? You should be using session.CustomActionData on the other end. It will recreate the key value collection for you.
FWIW, I know that DTF CAD automatically escapes ; as ;;.

Objet : [WiX-users] Bug with Semi colon in Custom action data Hi all, I think this is a bug in wix : I have a variable containing a semi colon. >From this variable and many others, I build another variable that I use as >custom action data. Unfortunately, the custom action data is cut because of the semi-colon. If I replace the semi-colon by a comma, it works perfectly. Is there any work around against this issue ?
