Deferred Custom Actions.
Hi all,
I'm having troubles with custom actions, I'm trying to change a name on a xml file, by custom action if i use an inmediate one it works fine on installation but fails at repair. If i try to change it to deferred i can not pass more than one property. Is there any way to pass more than one property to the CA
Thanks

Hi John,
to pass more than one parameter to a deferred CA, you need to concatenate them together in a CustomActionData property.
Use a very seldom char like "¦" as delimiter. Of course, your CA has to split them up after reading them in.
You can find an example in VBS here:
