Hi Blair,
Thank you for your help. I tried your suggestion and have a problem getting it
work. Below is how the custom action, WriteModulesXml, is setup. This CA tries
to access session.Features.
Declaration:
<CustomAction Id="WriteModulesXml" BinaryKey="CustomAction1.dll"
DllEntry="WriteModulesXml" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore" />
Sequence:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="WriteModulesXml" After ="InstallInitialize">NOT
REMOVE="ALL"</Custom>
Error:
Calling custom action CustomAction1!CustomAction1.CustomActions.WriteModulesXml
Exception thrown by custom action:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the
target of an invocation. --->
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.InvalidHandleException: The handle is
invalid.
at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.FeatureInfo.get_Description()
at CustomAction1.CustomActions.WriteModulesXml(Session session)
I tried scheduling this CA in difference places but got the same error. Any
idea?
Thanks a lot,
Miaohsi

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How can I loop through in C# custom action the Feature
tree and detect the install state and install action for each one of the
features?
I would assume:
foreach (FeatureInfo FeatureState in session.Features)
{
FeatureInfo.Name; // etc.
}
