Hi All,
I am trying some thing similar. What i am trying to do is I have one file
which i have included in my msi and i am copying it in "Temp Folder" using a
component which is getting called in my main feature element
<Directory Id="TempFolder" SourceName="Temp">
<Component Id="TempComp"
Guid="FD8C351E-7DE5-462B-957D-CA3BFF7BA17F">
<File Id="CLEANUP" Name="cleanup.cmd" LongName="cleanup.cmd"
Source="dependencies/batch/cleanup.cmd" DiskId="1"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
i am calling this component in my main feature like this:
<Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="Standalone Product" Level="1"
Description="Installs all Product components">
<ComponentRef Id="TempComp"/>
<ComponentRef Id="RegistryComp1" />
<ComponentRef Id="ProductComponent" />
<ComponentRef Id="OUTPUTFLDR" />
<ComponentRef Id="DLLS" />
<ComponentRef Id="MyService"/>
</Feature>
Now my problem is i have a custom action (which calls the file i placed in
Temp folder) which i wish to execute to do some cleanup before installing my
new files.
Is it possible i can just copy this file and execute my custom action before
installing any of my files?
Thanks in Advance.
