You are trying to use .NET code in a vbscript CA. I suggest you rewrite the logic in jscript or, better still, in C++ (using TR1 perhaps). If you really want to write managed custom actions then you should take a look at the Deployment Tools Foundation (DTF). -- View this message in context:

You can use msbuild properties (such as $(Platform)) in the output file name... However, there's an open bug against Votive that it escapes the control characters for now. If you open the project file directly and make your change, it works. I use it like this today. Chris On Tue, Mar 31, 2009
