Visual Studio 2008 Installer, Custom Action. Breakpoint not firing.
- by Snake
Hi,
I've got an installer with a custom action project.
I want the action to fire at install.
The action fires, when I write something to the event log, it works perfectly.
But I really need to debug the file since the action is quite complicated.
So I've got the following installer class:
namespace InstallerActions
{
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Configuration.Install;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
[RunInstaller(true)]
// ReSharper disable UnusedMember.Global
public partial class DatabaseInstallerAction : Installer
// ReSharper restore UnusedMember.Global
{
public DatabaseInstallerAction()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public override void Install(IDictionary stateSaver)
{
base.Install(stateSaver);
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
// none of these work
Foo();
}
private static void Foo()
{
}
}
}
The installer just finalizes without warning me, it doesn't break, it doesn't ask me to attach a debugger.
I've tried debug and release mode. Am I missing something?
Thanks
