Hi Casper,
You have a couple options...
1) You can add the file to the binary table and call it from there:
<binaries>
<binary name="MyAssemblyDll" value="${support.dir}\MyAssembly.dll" />
</binaries>
<!-- Type determined by:
1 - Key to Binary Table w/ target equal to DLL entry point
64 - Synchronous execution. Fails if exit code is not 0 -->
<customactions>
<customaction action="FILECA_MyAssembly" type="65" source="MyAssemblyDll"
target="MyEntryPoint" />
</customactions>
<sequences>
<sequence type="installexecute" action="FILECA_MyAssembly" value="750" />
</sequence>
2) You could manually specify the file id and call the custom action from
the file table
<component name="C__MyComponent" id="{53EF2CD5-B44D-491c-9764-AFC405465CCE}"
attr="2" directory="D__MYDIR">
<key file="SomeFile.xml" />
<fileset basedir="${support.dir}">
<includes name="*.*" />
</fileset>
<forceid file="MyAssembly.dll" id="_E47B750515A840B89DCFB3926E0F1739" />
</component>
<!-- Type determined by:
17 - Key to File Table w/ target equal to DLL entry point
64 - Synchronous execution. Fails if exit code is not 0 -->
<customactions>
<customaction action="FILECA_MyAssembly" type="81"
source="_E47B750515A840B89DCFB3926E0F1739" target="MyEntryPoint"
checkinterop="true" />
</customactions>
<sequences>
<sequence type="installexecute" action="FILECA_MyAssembly" value="750" />
</sequence>
There might be other ways to call the assembly, but these should work. Hope
that helps
Jim

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] Custom action registration
I try to run a custom action (implemented in a .NET assembly)
during installation of an MSI file. I have however run into a
problem which is that I do not know the GUID assigned to the
assembly in the File table. How can I get this GUID (File column
in the File table) so I can reference it in the Source column
in the CustomAction table? I am new to MSI and I may be doing
it wrong. What are my options?
Casper
