Decided an example might be good. Here's a custom action that uses the file Id for this purpose. See the [#mwefile143] portion. That's the file Id.
<CustomAction Id="caImportMWE" FileKey="ImportBatch" Execute="deferred" ExeCommand="-f "[#mwefile143]" -U "system" -P "Open says me" -UD "[ENTRE_DB_USER]" -PD "[ENTRE_DB_PASSWORD]" -LN "Local Loader" -D" HideTarget="yes" /> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Petersen Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 12:06 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
