In the site above it says

case INSTALLMESSAGE_INSTALLSTART:
{
// This message is sent when the Install begins.
// Record contains the ProductName and ProductCode
return IDOK;
}

case INSTALLMESSAGE_INSTALLEND:
{
// This message is sent when the Install ends.
// Record contains the ProductName and ProductCode
// and return value of the installation.
return IDOK;
}

for installstart messageRecord sud contain productcode and productname
and
for installend messageRecord sud contain productcode , productname and return value.

but this is wat it printed

installstart:
0:
1: Hari

installend:
0:
1: Hari
2: {198403D0-40B8-49A3-98F6-C83AFC7B7F74}

0 location is empty..

I actually want the return value..

is this a bug or am i missing something?

Hi hari,

the field with the index 0 isn't valid for getting the information, it is NULL. Please test your solution with the following sample:

...
case InstallMessage.InstallEnd:
case InstallMessage.InstallStart:
Console.WriteLine(messageRecord.ToString());
for (int i = 1; i <= messageRecord.FieldCount; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString() + ": " + messageRecord.GetString(i));
}
break;
...


Cheers
Andreas

Rite now i have to manually enter the MessageFilter column in the MsiEmbeddedUI table to receive InstallStart and InstallEnd values...

I think, you know the EmbeddedUI Element of WIX. Yes the attributes are missing; I'll create a bug entry for WIX.
