You can certainly do that. You should include both the C# dll and the executable that calls it in your installer. Then make a CustomAction element that defines the custom action. Make sure to use the FileKey attribute to reference the executable's file ID (i.e "Myfile.exe") as well as any of the other attributes that apply:
<CustomAction Id="SetupDatabase" Impersonate="yes" Return="check" Execute="immediate" FileKey="Myfile.exe" ExeCommand=""/> Then create a Custom element that schedules the custom action to happen after the files are installed: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SetupDatabase" After="InstallFinalize">1</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> (I am not 100% sure about the After="InstallFinalize" - perhaps someone else has a reccomendation on where to schedule the action). Hopefully that helps get you on your way. - Brett > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JCWrs > Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 12:29 PM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action that references C# classes? > > > One of our developers has written a class that is able to > set-up all of the virtual directories, websites and IIS that > our app requires.
