I tried this to verify it this morning and the install log shows that the
type 51 created by "SetProperty" fired off:
MSI (s) (0C:60) [10:36:29:726]: Doing action: SetDATABASE_USERNAME
Action 10:36:29: SetDATABASE_USERNAME.
Action start 10:36:29: SetDATABASE_USERNAME.
MSI (s) (0C:60) [10:36:29:726]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding DATABASE_USERNAME
property. Its value is '32BitWin7\test_user'.
Action ended 10:36:29: SetDATABASE_USERNAME. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (0C:60) [10:36:29:726]: Doing action: InstallInitialize
and the property is found at the end of the install when the properties are
dumped:
Property(S): DATABASE_USERNAME = 32BitWin7\test_user
So you should see those sort of entries in your install log.
I didn't use any defines at all. I just added the SetProperty element under
<Product> so that it was included in the install:
<SetProperty Id="DATABASE_USERNAME" Value="[%USERDOMAIN]\[%USERNAME]"
Before="InstallInitialize" Sequence="execute" />
In Orca, the CA's row in the CustomAction table looks like this:
SetDATABASE_USERNAME 51 DATABASE_USERNAME
[%USERDOMAIN]\[%USERNAME]
A "set" command shows that the values match that of the user and domain.
USERDOMAIN=32BitWin7
USERNAME=test_user
It worked with both a local account and a domain account.
Does the install log show the CA firing off? Is the CA visible in the
CustomAction table using Orca?
