If you own the code for tools.dll, you can change it to a library and link the library in CustomActions.dll. Otherwise, you will have to extract tools.dll onto the system before using it. There is no built-in way to do this.

I've created a CustomActions.dll to contain a isValidSystem call. unfortunately, the algorithm to validate the system is inside yet another dll (tools.dll) that I must load. My initial knee-jerk idea was to include tools.dll as part of the installation and just fetch INSTALLDIR inside CustomActions.dll, but of course that wont work since I can't actually install the application to determine if I should install the application :) I tried including tools.dll as a binary key, but of course msi places it in the windows temp directory under some other name, and I can't access that, unless there is some way to find out the path given the binary key ID? thanks Oren ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
