Hi,
Currently using Wix 3.5.
We are looking at rewriting our CA's in C#, so I've started to play with DTF
and a few examples. However, I can't understand no matter what value I try with
session["<value>"] it throws an exception.
In the logs I see a list of Property(s) like:
Property(S): INSTALLLOCATION = C:\Program Files (x86)\WixCustomAction\
Property(S): WixUIRMOption = UseRM
Property(S): ALLUSERS = 1
Property(S): ARPNOMODIFY = 1
Property(S): myActionId1 = MyLocation=C:\Program Files
(x86)\WixCustomAction\;AnotherValue='Action1'
Property(S): ProgramFilesFolder = C:\Program Files (x86)\
Property(S): TARGETDIR = D:\
Thus I figure I could access them like so:
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult MySimpleAction1(Session session)
{
Debugger.Launch();
try
{
var s1 = session["TARGETDIR"];
session.Message(InstallMessage.Warning,
new Record(new object[]
{
string.Format("INSTALLLOCATION{0}", s1)
}));
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
session.Log(exception.ToString());
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
return ActionResult.Success;
}
I've tried INSTALLLOCATION, a few values for the Windows Installer help file
(under properties [Window Installer]) page and I've also tried accessing this
custom property:
<!-- Configurable install location -->
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLLOCATION" />
My Custom Action is declared like so:
<CustomAction Id="myActionId1"
BinaryKey="myAction"
DllEntry="MySimpleAction1"
Return="check" />
<CustomAction Id="SetCustomActionDataValue1" Return="check"
Property="myActionId1"
Value="MyLocation=[INSTALLLOCATION];AnotherValue='Action1'" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetCustomActionDataValue1" Before="myActionId1">NOT
Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="myActionId1" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Log file products this:
SFXCA: Binding to CLR version v2.0.50727
Calling custom action
MyCustomAction!MyCustomAction.SimpleCustomAction.MySimpleAction1
System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present
in the dictionary.
at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException()
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.CustomActionData.get_Item(String
key)
at MyCustomAction.SimpleCustomAction.MySimpleAction1(Session session)
CustomAction myActionId1 returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be
100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Thus, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
