The custom action needs to load some files
into the Sharepoint database in addition to what the WiX IIS custom action
do. The files will be read by the external command so don’t need to
exist in the file system after installation. Looks like InstallShield have a SUPPORTDIR
feature which I think is what I am looking for but have to implement that
behaviour manually via custom action with WiX. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Cicerone The WiX IIS custom
actions don’t cover your needs? What will the external command do
specifically? Derek From: I’m trying to deploy web services to
an IIS site running Sharepoint along with some templates that will be loaded as
documents into the Sharepoint library. Looks like just executing an external
command would be easier then. Eddie From: Derek Cicerone [mailto: You’d have to do it
via your own custom action. What is your scenario? In general you
should avoid custom actions because it’s very difficult to write one
properly/securely. Derek From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of I see, so say I want to use temporary
files during install as part of a custom action, but don’t want the files
to be on the system after execution. Is there a built in way to do
this? Or do I have to make my own custom action and perform its own
extraction and cleanup? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Files in the Binary table get extracted by the
installer to a temporary folder upon execution. Is there a way to get the
full path to the temporary file using just an Id from the binary table? No. MSI extracts the
files only for the duration of the custom action call. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org |
