I am using IS 2008 to build a setup for my application. I am planning to build a custom action for my setup. It is a Basic MSI project. I want that custom action to call a function in a dll. Does InstallShield recognises a dll build using VB.NET. I dont know C++ and can anyone help me on how to use a dll developed in VB.NET to use in the InstallShield.
One of the features in InstallShield 2009 is a new type of custom action called a managed-code custom action. This new type of custom action calls a public method in a .NET assembly that is written in managed code such as Visual Basic .NET or C#. You might want to download the evaluation of InstallShield 2009 and check it out. InstallShield 2008 does not have support for this.
