The Formatted topic in the MSI SDK describes the magical syntax to get you the full path to your file: "[!FileId]". Lots of other good stuff in that particular help topic.

I wrote a simple webpart for sharepoint (which actually doesn't really matter at this point ...), which I would like to register using 'stsadm'. OK, so I put my webpart (packaged as a WSP-file) as a binary in my installer. Next I would like to issue a command like 'stsadm -o addsolution -filename mywebpart.wsp', where 'mywebpart.wsp' is the name of the binary. But how would I do something like this? I didn't find any clue, on how to pass a binary as an argument to a custom action. So I create a custom action like <customaction id=foo execomand="stsadm -o addsolution -filename mywebpart.wsp"/> but who would a temporary find my extracted binary, since I would have to provide an according path? -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Henning Eiben busitec GmbH Consultant e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49 (251) 13335-0 Tel +49 (251) 13335-35 Fax Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 59 48157 Münster www.busitec.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: Münster HR B 55 75 - Amtsgericht Münster USt-IdNr.
