Embedded binaries are only for items that you
aren't installing, such as custom action DLLs and graphics used in the
UI. Everything else should go in the (possibly embedded) CAB or as a loose
file.
If trying to invoke a custom action from a DLL you're
installing, you should use the FileKey attribute rather than BinaryKey. You will
obviously have to schedule the CA after the file has been installed in the
execute sequence - so (at least) after InstallFiles.
If you need to invoke the CA before the file has been
installed, you'll either need to embed it using <Binary> and as a separate
<File>, or separate the two concerns into different
DLLs.

All, I have a file that is embedded
in the msi. I want to copy the file in my
install location. What should be the syntax in the File element to specify that
it is a embedded binary. E.g. I have a file sbc.dll embedded in the
msi. <Binary
Id="abc.dll" SourceFile="Binary\abc.dll"/> Now I want to copy this dll in
my install location. The file element I am using was
<File
Id='EmbeddedDll' Name='abc.dll' LongName='abc.dll' Source='abc.dll' DiskId='1'
Vital='yes' /> But it is not
picking up the way I wanted? What shpuld be
the syntax here? Thanks in
advance,
