Hello, Yes, you can do that. For example, you can: 1. use a search to find your file 2. use a Custom Action to retrieve the content.

Hello Zsolt, 2. Instead of the signtool.exe (see screenshot) probably I could start a certain script (powershell?) that recognizes whether it runs on our team build server or not. If it's the team build server (where our signature is available), then the AI project will put the signature on, otherwi...

Hello and welcome to our forums, In order to achieve what you want, the properties that you are using at install time to connect to the database must be set as "persistent" . Another way would be to connect to the database using a script custom action (e.g. PowerShell) and then run the que...
