I am using dll for copying one directory to another as a part of wix . So as a test program I am using following code that works fine with console application.
Backup.dll
namespace WiXTutorial.Samples
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
public class SampleCheckPID
{
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult Backup(Session session)
{
DirectoryCopy(@"D:\share", @"D:\sharecopy", true);
return ActionResult.Success;
}
private static void DirectoryCopy(
string sourceDirName, string destDirName, bool copySubDirs)
{
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(sourceDirName);
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dir.GetDirectories();
// If the source directory does not exist, throw an exception.
if (!dir.Exists)
{
throw new DirectoryNotFoundException(
"Source directory does not exist or could not be found: "
+ sourceDirName);
}
// If the destination directory does not exist, create it.
if (!Directory.Exists(destDirName))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(destDirName);
}
// Get the file contents of the directory to copy.
FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
// Create the path to the new copy of the file.
string temppath = Path.Combine(destDirName, file.Name);
// Copy the file.
file.CopyTo(temppath, false);
}
// If copySubDirs is true, copy the subdirectories.
if (copySubDirs)
{
foreach (DirectoryInfo subdir in dirs)
{
// Create the subdirectory.
string temppath = Path.Combine(destDirName, subdir.Name);
// Copy the subdirectories.
DirectoryCopy(subdir.FullName, temppath, copySubDirs);
}
}
}
}
}
Product.wxs
<CustomAction Id='Backup' DllEntry='Backup' BinaryKey='CheckPID' Execute='immediate' Return='check' />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='Backup' After='InstallFiles' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<Binary Id='CheckPID' SourceFile='D:\Nirvana\Installer\Backup\Backup\bin\Debug\Backup.dll' />
Above code builds fine as refrenced by link - http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixdev/extensions/authoring_custom_actions.html
and
-https://www.firegiant.com/wix/tutorial/events-and-actions/how-to-manage/
But when I install application it shows error : Wizard ended prematurely
This is my log output
Error: could not load custom action class WiXTutorial.Samples.SampleCheckPID from assembly: CheckPID System.BadImageFormatException:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging. To turn this feature off, remove the registry value .
