Some pre install commands first
HI,
I create a standard repackage MSI with WIse. When i launch the install, if i want to perform some PRE install (move a folder, copy a file, set a CACLS on a specific foler) on the wks prior to the main installation, how would you suggest to achieve this?
And right after the main install, if i want to perform some POST install (again, move files, copy flag files, CACLS, etc..) How would you suggest to do this again?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Bob

To add on this, if i want to run something not supported by wise (personnal .exe file) is it possible to execute it at the beginning ? before the file copy ? but my "personnal .exe file" must be part of the msi. any thought?

If you don't want to leave the file behind after the installation has finished I would use a "Custom Action Type 2" (This custom action calls an executable launched with a command line.) and sequence it just before the InstallFiles action.

ORIGINAL: princecraftWhat does THAT mean, 'not supported by Wise'? Why would it care? A file is a file is a file...
