You have the right idea... use the binary tag to put the file in the binary table and then reference that binary with your custom action using the binarykey="<id of binary file>" entry.

The install is a web install and therefore I can't refer to the file as if it were on a CD or any media. Problem is that the custom action needs to happen *before* the InstallFiles action, so I can't refer to the installed location to find the file. Does anybody know how I can accomplish this? I've tried to mess around with the Binary tag and passing some reference in there through the CustomActionData to no avail. Appreciate the help :) Steve -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Referencing-a-not-yet-installed-file-in-a-custom-a ction-tf3805977.html#a10770918 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
