wix - 如何调试用 Javascript 实现的 MSI 自定义操作？

Question

我很难弄清楚我的 Javascript 自定义操作失败的原因。

我以为我在 WIX.chm 文件中看到了关于调试的主题；现在我找不到了。

第一季度
有关于如何调试 Javascript 或 VBScript 自定义操作的文档吗？

第二季度
有没有办法从自定义操作中将某些内容发送到 MSI 日志中？

附录:
Some people think script is the wrong tool for writing CAs .
我不同意。我想Javascript is a very good tool for the job .

Answer 1

对于文档，查找 Session.Message .

要从 Javascript 自定义操作将消息发送到 MSI 日志中，请遵循以下样板代码:

//
// CustomActions.js 
// 
// Template for WIX Custom Actions written in Javascript.
