Problem with custom action / regasm

Hi,

i try to run regasm during install on a .NET-Assembly-dll which will be installed in the gac.

Till now i could not manage to find out how to do that.

Last thing i tried was

File Search [REGASM] <- regasm.exe

From the log i see that it proceeds. The property REGASM contains the full path to the regasm.exe

When i try then a custom action with exe from Property and Argument [#dll-name] it fails (Error Code 1721)

It works from the CMDLine.

Please Help

best regards and thanks in advance

Hi Tim,

In order for the [#dll-name] to be expanded into the full name of the file, the custom action should be placed on a section after the installation of file (the Commit section for example).

Also the argument should be embedded in quotes ("[#dll-name]") since it might expand into a string that contains spaces.

Hope this solves the problem.

Regards,
Mihai
