Limit to number of Custom Actions?

I've got an array of Custom Actions (all inside the InstallInitialize and of type "Directory set with Formatted") but now I seem to have hit a limit, because if I want to add a new Action, the only options not grayed out are the MSI Database ones.

Is this a hard limit of 24 something I can change?

Hi,

This is a limitation for Advanced Installer (you can add maximum 24 custom actions under a standard action).

The workaround is to add some of the custom actions under an adjacent standard action (for example the standard action that will run immediately after the current one). You can see a standard action by using the "Show standard action" button on the toolbar in the "Custom Actions" page.

Hi Matthias,

I'm not sure why you encounter this problem. Can you please send us your AIP (project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com, so we can investigate it?
