Hi Rob, I agree that starting services would be difficult before installing files ;) But in a pure logical way,
<Custom Action='CustomAction2' Before="StartServices" /> does not mean that CustomAction2 will be executed after InstallFiles. It just means that it will be executed before StartServices... Why wouldn't the sequence be : CustomAction2 -> InstallFiles -> StartServices ? The former element is still valid (CustomAction2 is executed before StartServices) In fact, while writing these lines, I think I start to understand the way it works. Tell me if I'm wrong... The before or after attribute means that the CustomAction will be executed *right* before or after the specified Sequence i.e., if I write <Custom Action='CustomAction2' Before="StartServices" /> this means that CustomAction2 will be executed right before StartServices BUT after any other Sequence preceding StartServices (as installFiles for example)... Am I right? Thanks again for your time.
