Create Templates for Custom Actions?

Thx

Re: Create Templates for Custom Actions?

Hi Matthias,

We strive to always improve Advanced Installer and I'm wondering what is your scenario regarding the support for custom action? Can you please provide some insight?

To execute a .vbs or .js code you can use the predefined Execute inline script code custom action. If your custom action is a .DLL (C++ or C#), then you can use the predefined Call function from attached native DLL custom action. For PowerShell, you can use the predefined Run Windows PowerShell Script custom action.

Best regards,
Dan

Re: Create Templates for Custom Actions?

Hi,
so at the Moment we are working on some templates to make the packaging easier for us.

Our Idea was that we create some Inline Scripts with Powershell and Paste These scripts to an own Custom Action.
So if we Need this Custom Action more than one times, we navigate to custom Action and type in "Predefined Custom Actions Filter" as an example "Find ARP" and there is our own ps1 script.

Thx
Matthias
