Thank you, Phil, I think I'm much close now due to your guidance. May be you can guide me a bit further.
I use *session.CustomActionData["INSTALLDIR"]* to access this session property. However, I get this exception: Exception thrown by custom action: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: *The given key was not present in the dictionary.* at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException() at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key) at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.CustomActionData.get_Item(String key) at ReportsInstaller.CustomActions.PostInstall(Session session) What would be my further step?
