[wix-users] calling 3rd part library calls using custom action in c++

[Hoover, Jacob]

A)  What is CreateNewFIle, and is it able to handle the // 's?
B)  You need something inside a fragment that you reference in your main authoring to "pull it in".
C) Have you looked at your MSI post compile in Orca?  My guess is the CA isn't included nor scheduled due to B.

Hi,

    I have created a DLL which just creates a file. Iam trying call this Createnewfile API through custom action in wix cpp.
    My compilation went fine but when I run the msi , The file is not getting created after the installation. Iam attaching the snippet for reference.
   Could you please guide me where Iam going wrong .

   Custionaction.cpp
#include "Testdll.h"

UINT __stdcall Createfile(
       MSIHANDLE hInstall
       )
{
       HRESULT hr = S_OK;
       UINT er = ERROR_SUCCESS;

       hr = WcaInitialize(hInstall, "Createfile");
       ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to initialize");

       //const char* filepath="C://shashi.txt";
       //const char * Mode = "W";
       //wsprintfA(filepath, "%S",L"Name");
       //wsprintfA(Mode, "%S", L"Name");
       //LPWSTR filepath;
       //LPWSTR Mode;

//hr = WcaGetProperty(L"Name", &filepath); //hr = WcaGetProperty(L"Mode", &Mode);
       WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Initialized.");
       Createnewfile("C://shashi.txt", "w");

       // TODO: Add your custom action code here.


LExit:
       er = SUCCEEDED(hr) ? ERROR_SUCCESS : ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
       return WcaFinalize(er);
}
