In his response, Friedrich asked: Well couldn't I run the custom action when I like for what good should be the After, Before etc stuff then?
Yes, up to a point you can run a custom action whenever you want. I say "up to a point" because doing so after "InstallFinalize" is not usually a good idea, for example, and if you need access to installed files - as you do - it cannot be run before "InstallFiles" and/or "PatchFiles". Friedrich also said: Well I loved to get it another way. Please let me know how I can install a unidrv printer driver and after that a printer using it without a custom action. If I can get away without I would be more then happy. I don't think my use is overly complex in fact I think it's one of the easier ones, how terrible will it get with more complex things? I must admit I have never had to install a printer driver so I really can't be of much help. I suspect you may benefit from taking a look at Microsoft's Driver Install Frameworks (DIFx). I believe they have some custom actions already defined to install device drivers, and for all I know they may have something that would help configure the printer too. See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/difxtools.mspx for more details. So... Has anyone else out there in WiX land installed a printer driver? If so, would you be willing to share how you did it?
