Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

In order to achieve that you can go in the “Custom Actions” page and add the predefined Launch attached file custom action with sequence. This type of custom action can execute an application (EXE or DLL) or run a script (VBScript or Java script). Also, the source file will be embedded in the MSI file but will not be deployed at install time with the other application files.

Also you can use our predefined Execute inline script code custom action with sequence. Just edit the Script Text field from the custom action properties with the body of the script.

Also you should add your custom action before the “Search” stage in the Wizard Dialogs Stage.

Please let us know if that helped otherwise give us more details about your specific scenario(maybe exemplify).

Best regards,
Dan

Hi Dan

Hi,

Please note that when you added added the Execute inline script code predefined custom action with sequence, it is added in the Install Execution Stage after the Add resources stage. So, you need to add it in the Wizard Dialog Stage using a drag-and-drop operation as you can see below:
