expand archive option in pre-install action
Hi All,
I am working on one of the big product.I want to extract a zip file(zip size is 200mb) to some temp location and from their i have to call the one the .exe file(say setup.exe).This action needs to happen in pre-install only.
Presently Expance archive option is available only in Install time.Is there any way to extract the zip or any alternatives of doing this task.Suggestions welcome.
Can anybody help me on this?.
Regards,
Sankar

I think you would need to use the ExtractToFile plugin!

Well either you have the setup.exe to be installed as a prerequisite, or have it as the first action in the install task, or have a master installer that installs the setup.exe then your installer.

I mess with a zip file in postinstall by executing an ant script and using ant's task. Probably this would work in preinstall too.

Well, in order to mess up with it it needs to be installed... or nothing is installed it in the Pre-Install task!...
