AssemblyInstaller.Commit(IDictionary) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Configuration.Install

Assembly:

System.Configuration.Install.dll

Completes the installation transaction.

public:
 override void Commit(System::Collections::IDictionary ^ savedState);

public override void Commit (System.Collections.IDictionary savedState);

override this.Commit : System.Collections.IDictionary -> unit

Public Overrides Sub Commit (savedState As IDictionary)

Parameters

savedState

IDictionary

An IDictionary that contains the state of the computer after all the installers in the installer collection have run.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The savedState parameter is null.

-or-

The saved-state IDictionary might have been corrupted.

-or-

A file could not be found.

Exception

An error occurred in the Committing event handler of one of the installers in the collection.

-or-

An error occurred in the Committed event handler of one of the installers in the collection.

-or-

An exception occurred during the Commit(IDictionary) phase of the installation. The exception is ignored and the installation continues. However, the application might not function correctly after installation completes.

-or-

Installer types were not found in one of the assemblies.

-or-

An instance of one of the installer types could not be created.

InstallException

An exception occurred during the Commit(IDictionary) phase of the installation. The exception is ignored and the installation continues. However, the application might not function correctly after installation completes.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the AssemblyInstaller constructor and the Install and Commit methods of the AssemblyInstaller class.

An AssemblyInstaller class is created by invoking the AssemblyInstaller constructor. The properties of this object are set and the Install and Commit methods are called to install the MyAssembly_Install.exe assembly.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Configuration.Install.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Configuration::Install;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Collections::Specialized;
void main()
{
   IDictionary^ mySavedState = gcnew Hashtable;
   Console::WriteLine( "" );
   try
   {
      // Set the commandline argument array for 'logfile'.
      array<String^>^myString = {"/logFile=example.log"};
      
      // Create an Object* of the 'AssemblyInstaller' class.
      AssemblyInstaller^ myAssemblyInstaller = gcnew AssemblyInstaller;

      // Set the properties to install the required assembly.
      myAssemblyInstaller->Path = "MyAssembly_Install.exe";
      myAssemblyInstaller->CommandLine = myString;
      myAssemblyInstaller->UseNewContext = true;
      
      // Clear the 'IDictionary' Object*.
      mySavedState->Clear();
      
      // Install the 'MyAssembly_Install' assembly.
      myAssemblyInstaller->Install( mySavedState );
      
      // Commit the 'MyAssembly_Install' assembly.
      myAssemblyInstaller->Commit( mySavedState );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( e );
   }
}

Remarks

This method is called only if the Install methods of all the installers in this instance's InstallerCollection succeed. This method then calls the Commit method of each installer in the collection.

Store any information that you might need to do a correct uninstall operation in the saved-state IDictionary, which is passed to the Uninstall method.
