InstallShield 2015
Project: The Custom Actions and Sequences view is available in the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | MSI Database |
| • | Transform |
The view is called the Custom Actions view in the following project types:
| • | DIM |
| • | Merge Module |
| • | MSM Database |
When you create a custom action, you need to configure its settings. You may also need to later modify its settings. For example, you might want to edit the condition that is assigned to a custom action.
Depending on the type of custom action that you want to create, the settings for that action may have different meanings. For example, if your action calls an executable file that is stored in the .msi package, the Source setting needs to have the name of the entry in the table that points to the executable file that you want to call. The target setting is a command-line argument in this case.
To configure the settings for a custom action:
| 1. | In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Custom Actions and Sequences (in Basic MSI, InstallScript MSI, MSI Database, and Transform projects) or Custom Actions (in DIM, Merge Module, and MSM Database projects). |
| 2. | In the Custom Actions explorer, click the custom action whose settings you want to configure. |
| 3. | In the right pane, configure the settings as appropriate. |
For information about each setting, see Custom Action Settings.
To learn about displaying action information on the progress dialog and in the installation’s log file, see Using Action Text.
