Action start 14:38:59: BrandCrossProduct. MSI (s) (78:E8) [14:38:59:272]: Generating random cookie. MSI (s) (78:E8) [14:38:59:282]: Created Custom Action Server with PID 2924 (0xB6C). MSI (s) (78:74) [14:38:59:346]: Running as a service. MSI (s) (78:74) [14:38:59:355]: Hello, I'm your 32bit Impersonated custom action server. MSI (s) (78:B0) [14:38:59:376]: Failed to marshal script action. MSI (s) (78:B0) [14:38:59:376]: Failed to marshal script action. Action ended 14:38:59: BrandCrossProduct. Return value 3. |
The function looks like this:
| CODE |
Sub BrandCrossProduct Dim installedProductName installedProductName = Session.Property("CROSSPRODUCTUPGRADE") WriteToLog installedProductName Session.Property("CROSSPRODUCTUPGRADE") = Replace(Replace(installedProductName, "OldName", "NewName"), "Product", "Desktop Agent") WriteToLog Session.Property("CROSSPRODUCTUPGRADE") End Sub Sub WriteToLog(message) Const msiMessageTypeInfo = &H04000000 Dim msg, record msg = "[CUSTOMACTION]: " + message Set record = Session.Installer.CreateRecord(1) record.StringData(1) = msg record.StringData(0) = "[1]" record.FormatText Session.Message msiMessageTypeInfo, record End Sub |
Anyone have any ideas what "Failed to marshal script action." means in this case? I've read some places about that message appearing on XP SP2, but no real answers or suggestions other than to stop using VBScript in CAs. I plan to do that, but would like to know if there are any work arounds for the versions of my product that has already shipped.

What's the type of your custom action and at which position is they included in sequence table?
