Custom tables are useful for writing Custom Actions. Instead of hard coding
your CA, you make it data driven by reading information from the custom table,
applying business rules and then generating a CustomActionData property that
gets passed to a deferred CA. The deferred CA has no ideas about the business
rules or the custom tables, it just takes the CustomActionData property and
uses it to perform configuration changes.
In your example, those are InstallShield custom action patterns. You
probably don't need them. The extendeded component information can be
discarded and the ISSelfReg can be refactored back into more pure COM
extraction design.
If you choose to use ISSelfReg you would have grab the DLL that ships in the
binary table and the custom action / sequences information. Once the CA is
wired up it'll automatically look for your custom table and process it.

Hi,
Can anyone explain about "CustomTable"?
Why & Where it is useful?
When I open my Client.msi orca I saw "IsComponentExtended" and "IsSelfReg"
on right side(Tables row).
I know these are InstallShield related. When I apply Dark.exe on Client.MSI
I saw Custom Table.
Below is sample
Width="72" />
Nullable="yes" />
xyz.exe
Column="FilterProperty">_DBB4D7A1_FEDA_4E20_9A78_2F4324E84561_FILTER
It is showing components which are already there at "components" on right
side(Tables row)
What is the difference b/w them?
Is it required to add? If so How in Wix?
Can any one tell what is the necessity of this?
Thanks in advance
