Assign a Custom Action to a specific Build

Hello,

I'm interested in creating a Custom Action that only runs for a specific Build. When looking at the Media > Build Content page, I get the impression that I can specify which custom actions get included with a particular build (like I can for Features or Prerequisites).

Yet when I examine the Custom Actions property page, I can find no way of specifying a Build. Is this actually possible? Or do I have to create a separate project?

Re: Assign a Custom Action to a specific Build

Hi,

Currently this is not supported by Advanced Installer. However, we have this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version. Until then, you can try conditioning the custom action with the "AI_BUILD_NAME" property. This property is automatically set to the name of the build which generated the MSI.

Although the custom action will be included in all builds, it will be able to run only for the build you want.
