Custom Action Type 5 in the Windows Installer SDK Help

Call JScript From Installed Files

This custom action runs code from a JScript file that is installed by this installation. Use

this to call the script file during installation, while leaving the file on the destination

computer as part of the installation.

Tips

! First add the file to be called to the Files page in Installation Expert.

! Shaded areas of MSI Script indicate restricted placement for this custom action;

because this custom action calls an installed file, it must run after files are installed.

! Use the script to read and write properties to the installation.

! The destination computer must contain the script’s runtime.

Usage

Double-click the custom action and complete the Details tab:

! Custom Action Name

Enter a unique name that begins with a letter or underscore. It can contain numbers

and periods. It must not match the name of any Windows Installer standard action.

See Standard Actions Reference in the Windows Installer SDK Help.

! Script File

Specify a script file to call during installation. It must have already been added to this

installation via the Files page.
