Thanks for ur reply Brian, I will tell you how things use to work in installShield
there we have once section by the name SupportFiles, where we can add our files which we need not to install on the target machine but can use for our logic(do certain things, like registring few things) on fly. When installer runs, these files are copied to the TEMP directory on the target machine which we can access by using SUPPORTDIR property in Installshield. Can you throw some light on this ? And how to achieve the same in WIX? Thanks!
