Did you try it this way?

"[SourceDir]"Files "[DESTINATION_DIR]" /l-"[ProductLanguage]"

You can create a custom action of type EXE with Working Dir in the Commit stage for example and use a command line to rename your shortcut:

Working Dir=SystemFolder
Full Path=cmd.exe /Q /C "ren "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\My App" "[ProductName]""[ProductVersion]""

easier way to do it is to add a custom action "EXE with Working Dir" under "Uninstall" with:

Working Dir=SystemFolder
Full Path=cmd.exe /Q /C "rd /S /Q "[APPDIR]""

I created a custom action of type "Property Source" under "InstallServices" and renamed it to "Install". Now AI treats it as a Standard Action, the custom action Properties page is gone and I can't delete that thing.
How can I get rid of it?

Hi,
How do I get to the Edit Action Properties dialog described in the user guide on your web site?
I need to display action text for my custom actions during Install stage.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Mike, but my question is how will this installed custom action script be executed in a pre-installation stage before it even gets installed?
I tried running it as installed type but it wasn't working and I assumed that the reason for it is that the installer cannot find the bat file. Is my ...

No multi languages, just English. I edited the .msi file with Orca, under LicenseAgreementDlg/AgreementText I can see the text from my eula.rtf but during msi run time the license agreement dialog shows blank EULA.[/b]

Hi, I have 2 issues I'm trying to work around them:

1- Is there a way to force delete non empty folders during uninstall.
Those folders did not get deleted after uninstall due to the fact that new files were created in those folders after installation.
Before using custom script to do the job, I ...

Thanks Dorel, but the bat file I need to run is not part of the installed package and has to be run before installation that's why I need a way to run it as attached script.
