MSI doesn't offer a way to extract files on demand, except from the Binary table. You need to include the file in the Binary table, then write your CA to stream the data out to a temporary file. Be aware of security implications of where the temporary file gets written. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.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.
