Custom actions from MSM files

Can I add custom actions from an MSM file? With Installshield I can see a list of available actions within the MSM file and select them. Is this possible with Advanced Installer?

Hi,

All the Custom Actions from a MSM file are automatically merged in your MSI package when the merging process is performed.

Thanks for the info Ionut. Will the custom actions be in the correct order? I'm trying to merge my own installation with the installation for Sentinel USB hardware keys and the instructions say that certian custom actions should go in after certain standard actions. Will this be done automatically?

Hi,

The custom actions in a MSM have certain settings that indicate after or before what standard action the should be scheduled.

So, if the custom actions have correct sequence settings in the MSM they should have the correct sequence after merging too.
