Hi Bob, Custom action code in binary is OK; The question is can I carry data for the custom action in another binary?
What I am trying to do is silently uninstall formar InstalShield installation of the product; To be silent InstallShield requires external file (called silent response file); This file is passed as command line parameter to the InstallShield bootstrap application; In fact this is what I do now - I call script in binary file; the script creates temporary file and writes the needed data; then the script executes external application and passes the file name of the temporary file; Can this be done in declarative logic? Note that this happens before copying of the installation payload; Thanks!
