This way:
<CustomAction Id="SetPropLoc" Property="MyCA" Value="[INSTALLFOLDER]"
Execute="immediate"/>
<CustomAction Id=" MyCA " BinaryKey="CustomAction" DllEntry=" MyCA "
Return="check" Execute='deferred' Impersonate='no'/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action=" SetPropLoc " Before=" MyCA "></Custom>
<Custom Action=" MyCA " After="InstallInitialize"></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
In your customaction(MyCA here in the example). C# code:
string location = session["CustomActionData"];
location would hold the INSTALLFOLDER value.

Subject: [WiX-users] Running DOS commands from installation
*I posted the following at the main forum, and it was suggested I post here
instead...*
I've written an installation package with WiX (3.6), and I want to be able to
do a few extra things (that it apparently doesn't do out of the box) that can
easily been done at the Command level. I understand, though, that using
VBScript or executing a .bat file is not considered best practice. So I'm
soliciting ideas on how I might perform the following DOS equivalent commands
in my installation:
taskkill /im program.exe /f
schtasks /end /tn taskname
del [INSTALLFOLDER]program.exe
I'd prefer to use C# for the code. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
*I am using a custom DLL, and it's working except for the last point above.
How do I get access to INSTALLFOLDER from within my C# function? Thanks.*
