I added a dialog to the installer UI so that a user could specify an
LDAP path to be used by my application. Every time I ran the
installer, a system.argumentexception was thrown - took me ages to
work out what was happening so I thought I would share this:
In the properties window of the installer project's custom actions,
check the Custom Action Data field and ensure that:
1) There are no spaces between the key name and the value i.e. key=
"[value]" is invalid, key="[value]" is ok
2) Value should be enclosed in quotation marks in case user enters a
value containing a space. i.e. "[value]".
As usual, the VS documentaion was pretty scant on this subject and I
had to figure it out myself.
