When are you executing the CustomAction? PS: if you don't want to install the file, then you'll need to either write a block of code to temporarily extract it to disk (lots of work to get that right in all cases securly) or try to find it on source media (lots of problems if the source media isn't available). Installing the file is probably easier as long as having it on disk isn't a problem and it isn't *too* big. <smile/>
