Brandon: I'm back!

Whee! I'm back from Taiwan.

Jet lag sucks.

Also, I have a ton of pictures to go through. I'll get them up with detailed posts about the whole trip once I get back on a normal sleeping schedule.

Anyway, it was an incredible trip. I would definitely go again.

Tired: Since I can't seem to sleep during the night

Brandon: The Countdown. 0.

So, today is the big day. In a few hours I hop on a plane and head to Taipei for ~3 weeks. Going to go see my brother and all that sort of thing.

I promise to take lots of pictures and share them once Vikki and I get back.

And of course, as always, more later.

Packed: with everything I think I'll need

Brandon: Deferred Custom Actions in WiX and the data they love!

FFS, this should not be so hard.

Ok, so for future reference, when creating a deferred custom action for a setup project, you can only pull data out of the CustomActionData session property.

Of course, you can't just go and set that property, you need to have a type 51 custom action that sets it for you.

And the property you set is not called CustomActionData, its the name of the CustomAction you are trying to use.

So, this is how its done...

Code:



    <!-- The Property MUST be the same name as the CA that you are going to invoke -->


    <CustomAction Id="CAEnableCLR_DATA" Property="CAEnableCLR" Value="WhateverValueHere" />


    <CustomAction Id="CAEnableCLR" BinaryKey="$(var.CAServerConfig.TargetFileName)" DllEntry="EnableCLR" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" />    





    <InstallExecuteSequence>


      <Custom Action="CAEnableCLR_DATA" After="InstallSqlData">NOT SKIPINSTALLSQLDATA</Custom>


<!-- Schedule the actual CA to run after the Type 51 part -->


      <Custom Action="CAEnableCLR" After="CAEnableCLR_DATA">NOT SKIPINSTALLSQLDATA</Custom>


    </InstallExecuteSequence>

Frustrated: Why cant they wait til I get back to release...
