Hi,
I have a property being set to 0 at start in product.wxs
<Property Id="DATABASE_CREATE_SCHEMA" Secure="no" Value="0"/>
In a C# custom action I set it to 1:
SetSessionProperty(session, "DATABASE_CREATE_SCHEMA", "1");
where SetSessionPropertyis:
private static void
SetSessionProperty(Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Session session,
string propertyName, string value)
{
try
{
session[propertyName] = value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
WriteErrorLogInstall(session, "Exception when executing
SetSessionProperty.", ex, true);
}
}
the above is done during the "dialog" viewing stage...
I call this custom action:
<Custom Action="CA_CreateTitusDatabase" After="PublishProduct">NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
in another custom action (same C# custom action dll) I read the property:
string createDatabaseSchema = GetSessionProperty(session,
"DATABASE_CREATE_SCHEMA", true);
MessageBox.Show("DATABASE_CREATE_SCHEMA is: " + createDatabaseSchema);
where GetSessionProperty is:
private static string
GetSessionProperty(Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Session session,
string propertyName, bool isCustomActionData)
{
string sessionProperty = "";
try
{
if (isCustomActionData)
{
sessionProperty =
session.CustomActionData[propertyName];
}
else
{
sessionProperty = session[propertyName];
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
WriteErrorLogInstall(session, "Exception when executing
GetSessionProperty.", ex, true);
}
return sessionProperty;
}
The messagebox returns a blank value, meaning the property isn't being set
properly or read in properly?
Anybody know why?
Steve
