Custom Actions

Introduction

Use this section to manage custom actions. In most cases, standard actions are enough to execute an entire installation. However, in some situations it may be necessary to write a custom action. For example, you need to write a custom action if you want to launch an executable during installation, call special functions defined in a DLL, use VBScript or JScript, use WiseScript or run a nested MSI installation.

Working with custom actions

Right-click and choose New Action to create a new custom action using the Custom Action Wizard. Select a custom action from the list to modify its properties. Press F2 to rename a selected action.

NOTE: Don't forget, once you've created a custom action, to add it to your installation's action sequence. Otherwise, it won't run.
