Yes, you need to define custom action "Execute". Here is what works for me:
(1)define custom action that executes RegAsm.exe; example:
<CustomAction Id="ca_RegAsm_myDotNETassembly" Return="check" Execute="deferred"
Directory="TARGETDIR"
ExeCommand=""[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe"
"[MY_APP_FOLDER]myDotNETassembly.dll" /codebase" />
(2)schedule the action (1) in your <InstallExecuteSequence>, something like
this:
<Custom Action=" ca_RegAsm_myDotNETassembly" Before="InstallFinalize">
<![CDATA[(&FeatureName = 3)]]>
</Custom>
Few notes:
(a)the example uses RegAsm from framework v4 but you can modify to whatever you
need
(b)if you are registering your assembly in GAC you should remove /codebase from
calling RegAsm
(c)the example includes condition <![CDATA[(&FeatureName = 3)]]> which causes
the action to be executed
only when FeatureName is being installed. You can remove that if you do not
need it.
Thanks - hopefully it helps
