Wix Toolset 3.10
Visual Studio 2010 (With Wix Toolset Extension for Visual Studio 2010 https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RobMensching.WixToolsetVisualStudio2010Extension)
Currently I want to make a SQL Server customized installer calling Setup.exe provided each customer with a product code and almost fixed condition...
Probably same as calling such batch file...
E:\Setup.exe /Action=Install /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=hoge_for_fuga /InstanceName=MSSQLSERVER /UpdateEnabled=True /FEATURES=SQLEngine,FullText /INSTANCEDIR="D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" /INSTALLSHAREDDIR="D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" /INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR="D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /SQLCOLLATION="Japanese_CI_AS" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="{localmachine}\Administrator" >>SQLINSTALLRESULT.txt
Sorry, ultimate goal is unrelated to current question.
For user browsing setup.exe, I have read an article for File Browse Dialog working on Csharp dll File Browse Dialog in Wix Installer If I understand correctly, Wix provides "Folder Browser" but doesn't provide "File Browser", but I have failed to call dll method. Installer doesn't output error, pushing "Browse..." button doesn't respond and mouse cursor changing its shape to rolling circle...After waiting one night, Forced termination by Task Manager only stops the msiexec process...
Below is the code of csharp and wsx files... CallSQLSvrInstallDlg.wxs

CustomAction.cs(CustomAction1.CA.dll)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using WinForms = System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
public class CustomActions
{
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult OpenFileChooser(Session session)
{
try
{
session.Log("Begin OpenFileChooser Custom Action");
GetFile(session);
session.Log("End OpenFileChooser Custom Action");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
session.Log("Exception occurred as Message: {0}\r\n StackTrace: {1}", ex.Message, ex.StackTrace);
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
return ActionResult.Success;
}
private static void GetFile(Session session)
{
var fileDialog = new WinForms.OpenFileDialog { Filter = "Text File (*.txt)|*.txt" };
if (fileDialog.ShowDialog() == WinForms.DialogResult.OK)
{
session["SETUPEXEPATH"] = fileDialog.FileName;
}
}
}
I put on CustomAction1.CA.dll into the same directory of msi installer file, what is wrong?
P.S.1 According to @Towel 's advice, I changed the Csharp CA code with a Thread action:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using WinForms = System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
using System.Threading;
public class CustomActions
{
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult OpenFileChooser(Session session)
{
try
{
session.Log("Begin OpenFileChooser Custom Action");
var task = new Thread(() => GetFile(session));
task.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
task.Start();
task.Join();
session.Log("End OpenFileChooser Custom Action");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
session.Log("Exception occurred as Message: {0}\r\n StackTrace: {1}", ex.Message, ex.StackTrace);
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
return ActionResult.Success;
}
private static void GetFile(Session session)
{
var fileDialog = new WinForms.OpenFileDialog { Filter = "Text File (*.txt)|*.txt" };
if (fileDialog.ShowDialog() == WinForms.DialogResult.OK)
{
session["SETUPEXEPATH"] = fileDialog.FileName;
}
}
}
But result is same. Wix verbose log snippet is below:

I will post internet the whole log file tomorrow. Probably I made another simple mistake, I should read the article https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jschaffe/2012/10/23/creating-wix-custom-actions-in-c-and-passing-parameters/ again....
I uploaded the verbose log file... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FOnhwU8LWmntuoMIT6LlrXEN_EFRp8-U/view?usp=sharing Any help would be greatly appreciated.
