How are you setting your CustomActionData property? You will want to log what you set it to, log what the entire CustomActionData value is when you run deferred, and log how you are parsing it all out (at least until you have it all working). If you are using library support (DTF or the WiX C++ libs) to parse/extract the CustomActionData make sure you use the companion APIs to build the property's value (and visa versa). > From: jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 16:42:02 +0000 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Quick Question > > First guess is you have = and/or ; inside of your INI file contents.
