allow variable for MSI db attached to installation

I would like to be able to specify the Source Path for the MSI database attached to installation (under custom actions) with a property so I can make this path different for different builds. For example I want Build1 to include a Client1.msi and Build2 to include a Client2.msi.

Thanks!

Hi,

Note that the Source Path for a custom action is not a formatted field. It can contain an identifier, external key into another MSI table etc. depending on the custom action type. So making this path per build configurable is not possible.

Also note that this type of custom action has been deprecated and should not be used for packages intended for the public.
