Actually this is not what I'm looking for. Since I need to be able to refer to the jar file when I call a custom action during installation, before the actual installation of files, what I want is to be able to get the path to the jar component "in the backup files", not the target path. So anyone know if there is a way to do such a thing in WiX? Or even if there's no such a feature, anyone who knows how to do it outside of WiX mind telling me where to look into for more information?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] referencing to components within msi being installed 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. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] referencing to components within msi being installed Even better. You can generally refer to a file directly with the [#FileId] syntax.
