Sounds like you're after a Custom Action which calls a function from a dll. Have a look http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson10.php here for a quick overview of how to set up the WiX source to invoke a custom action from a DLL. And bear in mind that if you wish to simply run the custom action when the installer is started then you would have to schedule it - instead of attaching it to a GUI component. chandan Koushik wrote: > > Based on the content of the function the corresponding features can be > installedon the system.
