I understand that component attributes are bit flags. I want to test for the 64 bit flag in my immediate CA, which schedules a deferred CA, so that I know whether the CA is running on a x64 architecture. There are several examples in the source code of testing the component attribute flag in secureobj.cpp and XmlConfig.cpp, like this. BOOL fIs64Bit = iCompAttributes & msidbComponentAttributes64bit;
What I am struggling with is how to initialize iCompAttributes so that I can do this test in the CA. My long term goal is to figure out how to do the WixExtension with the dom parser, but for now I am using the Custom Table driven CA approach and focusing on writing the CAs using the Wix source as a teacher. So I am wondering how to either populate a row in my wxs file with the value that should be passed to iCompAttributes, or from within the immediate CA, how to use the Component_ identifier (which I also put in the Custom Table) to look up the iCompAttributes value (so that I can then implement code to test the flags). Maybe I am just making this issue hard since in the case of x64, I can also set a row value in the wxs Custom Table to "x64". I was trying to avoid manually maintained literals and make use of testing the component attributes flags, but I need to figure out how to get the value to do the test. Thanks for giving me any suggestions. I appreciate the advice. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Component-Attributes-tp7592263p7592304.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
