Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried setting the customaction to deferred but that also doesn't work. I
don't know how to access files through the CustomActionData property.
I don't have any problems accessing property values either - I can access
the properties I need. I just can't touch any files.
Maybe I can try it a different way - by including the xml file as a binary
inclusion and opening that? Then it is technically not an installed file.
But I can't find a good example of doing that either. Most examples just
execute binary files.
Any more ideas?
