[WiX-users] Reading value from Inifile

[Chandra V. <cha...@oa...>]

Hi Bob and Brian,
I have Probl;em Reading value form IniFile using INIFileSearch, see the code belcow.
here i want read value from inifile to property [SERVICELOCATION].
INIFIle (test.ini)
[Feature1]

Servicelocation=dbsevr

 

<Property Id="SERVICELOCATION">

<IniFileSearch Id="test" Name="test.ini" Section="Feature1" Key="Servicelocation" Type="raw">

<DirectorySearch Id="StandardBuildIniDirSearch" Path="D:\" Depth="0">

<FileSearch Id="testid" Name="test.ini" />

</DirectorySearch>

</IniFileSearch>

</Property>

 

Please can u correct this it is unable to read value from inifile.

 
In Wix Users i found this but i am confused with this(LongName="[MyDir]myfile.ini") syntax
 
Hey Ansuya,

I have not tried this out but am thinking this is what you are looking to
do.

<property id="SEARCH_INI">
   <IniFileSearch id="MY_SEARCH_INI"
LongName="[MyDir]myfile.ini" Section="MySection" Key="MyKey" Type="raw"/>
</property>
Make sure that you test the property value after it has been set by the
action sequence.

Hope this helps; let me know!
