That does seem overly complex right out of the gate. Have you taken a good look at the Binary element? This is how I make my files available to my custom actions without having to copy anything to the local computer. Might not be what you are after, but it's worth mentioning.

Then, after the installer finished, the files should be removed. We've tried simply putting them as <File> in a component inside a TempFolder <Directory>, but at the time of the customAction the files are not there. So, we have little idea on how to do that. Any suggestion on how to achieve that? Thank you, Lluís. -- Lluís Batlle i Rossell Software and Electronics Engineer AQSENSE S.L.
