In my main .wxs file that is based on the WixUI_InstallDir dialog set,
I set WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT so that the final dialog
after successful installation has an extra information.
This is done like this:
<Wix xmlns=....>
<Product>
...
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT"
Value="Please manually copy the product license file to a proper
location."/>
</Product>
</Wix>
This works fine. The text stored in this property is shown.
I wanted to show where exactly the user needs to copy our license file,
and put these elements instead of the <Property/> element:
<CustomAction Id="SetExitDialogOptText"
Property="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT"
Value="Please manually copy the product license file to
[INSTALLDIR]\licenses\."
/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetExitDialogOptText" After="InstallInitialize"><!--
"InstallFinalize" should also work? -->
NOT Installed
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
This didn't work. The Exit Dialog doesn't show the text stored in this
property.
The log file from the installer shows that the property is set properly
in the server, [INSTALLDIR] being replaced by the actual directory. But
after the control is handed back to the client, this property doesn't
exist. I thought properties named with all uppercase letters are in
global effect, and passed between the server and the client, back and
forth. So I'm puzzled. What can cause this behavior? Do I have to do
something special to pass properties from the server to the client?
