1 month ago morning, really intresting one. Am i right, if i think, you want to extract zip from msi to dest dir? If so, your zip has to be binary and embeded ressource in project. CA for ExtractZip is ElevatedAction, but why you use it ? If you use Before or AfterInstall event, is automatically elevated.
i had same issue for extracting file.
public static bool ExtractFile(SetupEventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Get the path to the temporary folder
string tempPath = Path.GetTempPath();
string targetFilePath = Path.Combine(tempPath, "<your_file>");
if (System.IO.File.Exists(targetFilePath) == true)
{
System.IO.File.Delete(targetFilePath);
}
// Get the current assembly (your custom action DLL)
var assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
// Extract the Embeded file from the embedded resources
using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("<YourNamespace>.Resources.<your_file>"))
{
if (stream == null)
{
throw new FileNotFoundException("Embedded resource not found.");
}
using (var fileStream = new FileStream(targetFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
stream.CopyTo(fileStream);
}
}
e.Session.Log($"XML file extracted to: {targetFilePath}");
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
e.Session.Log($"Error in ExtractFile: {ex.Message}");
e.ManagedUI.Shell.ErrorDetected = true;
return false;
}
}
you could try it. For me it works, i also tested it as zip, rar and exe.
