I am creating a Installscript MSI Project, and I was wondering can I use a cusom action I created. I created this custom action for another Installshield but this was a Basic MSI Project. Its a DLL which I use to check a entered license key and give back a resultcode so I know whit features can and can't be installed for this license key.
Can I reuse this custom action and how do I call it from my Installscript, or do I have to solve this into my Installscript itself?
InstallScript MSI projects do support custom actions, so you could perhaps do the same thing you're doing with a Basic MSI project.
Otherwise, it depends what you want to do. InstallScript supports calling DLL functions (see UseDLL, UnUseDLL, and "Calling a .dll File Function"); or there's MsiDoAction to call a custom action defined in the CustomAction table but not in the sequences...
in Installshield I ask for a license key, after that I give this License key to my DLL which returns a Return code this returncode I use in the rest of Installshield for conditioning the Features and components that wil and wil not be installed.
I wil look into the functions you mentioned if they do not what I expect them to do I wil rewrite the code of my DLL into my Installscript.
