Phil,
One custom action is working the other isn't... it is using the SAME custom
action DLL so:
1. Are you referencing the correct DLL in the Binary table? yes
2. Are you referencing the correct exported function name? yes
3. Is your class public?
yes
4. Is your method using the correct signature? I.e. is it:
5. Marked with the correct CustomAction attribute yes
6. Marked as public?
yes
7. Marked as static?
yes
8. Return ActionResult?
yes
9. Take Session as an Argument?
yes
10. Make sure you are using the WiX C# Custom Action Project type o ensure the
postbuild event is called to create the native DLL wrapper. (See #1) yes:
<?define TitusInstallerCA =
"$(var.scSourcePath)\Main\Resources\TitusInstaller.CA.dll"?>
<Binary Id="BIN_CustomAction" SourceFile="$(var.TitusInstallerCA)"/>
<CustomAction Id="CA_UPGRADE_GET_CONNECTSTR" BinaryKey="BIN_CustomAction"
DllEntry="GetServicesConnectString" Impersonate="yes" Execute="immediate"
Return="ignore"/>
namespace Titus.Installer.CustomActions
{
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
public class CustomAction
{
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult GetServicesConnectString(Session session)
{
MessageBox.Show("GetServicesConnectionSTring", "get services connect
string", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
return ActionResult.Success;
}
