What I have seen others use is a C++ DLL CustomAction that extracts all
needed files from the Binary table to the %TEMP% directory, leaving them
there, and the deferred CAs then use/consume those files using the TEMP
environment variable to find them. If you really shouldn't leave the files
around, you could add a rollback/commit CA that erases them from the %TEMP%
folder.

Thanks Blair! I could not use a Binary table since the executables executing
in-turn depend on one or other files. Moreover these are console
applications so they will show a pop-up when the CA is executed. Also the
CA's are deferred actions. So I think a Binary table wouldn't come to my
rescue.
Thanks,
Kiran

You could try using the Binary table instead of the File table to store the
support files. You would need to extract then yourself in a custom action,
but it could be the same custom action if that CA is not deferred.

Hi,
I am having an issue over here. I am using a custom action which uses some
support files. The action is required to run both in installation and
un-installation phases. But the support files needs to be removed after
installation. That means I will require these files again during
un-installation. How can I remove files after installation and again
install\remove them after un-installation? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kiran
