installer - WiX - Passing parameters to a CustomAction (DLL) -

-

i've got dll old wise installer i'm trying working in wix, i'm pretty sure dll works msi-based installers.

here definition:

<binary id="setupdll" sourcefile="../tools/setup.dll" /> <customaction id="readconfigfiles" binarykey="setupdll" dllentry="readconfigfiles" />

and usage:

<publish dialog="installdirdlg" control="next" event="doaction" value="readconfigfiles" order="3">1</publish>

my c++ function looks this:

extern "c" uint __stdcall readconfigfiles(msihandle hinstall, char * szdirectory)

where can pass in parameters?

you can't pass parameters directly because in order work, function has exported right footprint. when call readconfigfiles in custom action dll, should have footprint this:

extern "c" uint __stdcall readconfigfiles(msihandle hinstaller);

you can use hinstaller parameter read properties msi. use msigetproperty():

hresult getproperty(msihandle hinstaller, lpcwstr property, lpwstr value, dword cch_value) {     uint err = msigetproperty(hinstaller, property, value, &cch_value);     return (err == error_success ? s_ok : e_fail); }

then make sure set property in .wxs file:

<property id="your-property-name">your-property-value</property>

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
