How we are supposed to use any dll dependency in InstallAnywhere??

I would very like to know too.
I have the same problem (also for validating SQL connection), but I can't figure it out.

Someone?
Thanks

Does your installer bundle any VM? Because if it does, you could put your .dll in the .VM pack.

[sting74]

it works.
Thank you very much

So what was the answer? Create a custom ZIP file for the VM that contains this DLL?

Is it possible to create a ZIP file that is a dependency of the custom action that just contains the DLL?

[sting74]

I've added the dll in the bin folder in the file vm.zip in the vm pack. So now, my custom action can used it.
