Insert GUID in XML-file?

Hi all,

I want to generate and insert a new GUID in an XML-file on new installs. Is there any easy way to do that?

I'm using the XML Editor and a Value for an attribute should be the newly generated GUID.

:?:

Thx,


/Carl

Re: Insert GUID in XML-file?

Hi Carl,

To insert your GUID into an XML file you can use a public property, as you probably know. However, there is no predefined support for Advanced Installer
to generate a GUID and place it in that property. For this you will need to create a custom action, i.e. Win32 DLL or VBScript, to generate the GUID and place in the desired property.
