custom-action

I’m currently working on a project where I am using Wix for the installer. My application is developed using .net core and having appsettings.json as a configuration file. I would like to update the values on the appsettings.json with the values which passed as a parameter during command-line installation For example, I am passing value 500 through parameter BUFFER.SIZE msiexec.exe /i c:\PathToMyMsi\MyMsi.msi BUFFER.SIZE="500" /L*vx c:\PathToMyLog.txt To achieve this, I have defined property and custom action in Product.wxs as follow <Property Id="BUFFER.SIZE" /> <Binary Id="GetParameters.CA"

I am having trouble reading this key from my managed bootstrapper (.NET 4.5.2), and my custom action (tried .NET 2.0 and 4.0). HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages I tried running the bootstrapper and msi using cmd as Administrator. My test environment is Windows 7 64-bit. I am using Wix 3.11 I made a test command line app and it was able to access this key.

I am using Installshield 2018 Express edition to make my setup and I wanted to include some custom actions coded in .NET, but I can't find the way to reference a custom action in .NET. I guess Installshield would have an option to refer to the assembly, class and public method to be invoked for the custom action but I can't find any option to do that. ¿Is there any way to achieve this?

I have a problem with setting data that contains semicolons to CustomActionData property. By default CustomActionData class uses semicolon as DataSeparator and it breaks my data, when it contains semicolons.
