Custom Action in Basic MSI project

[depaaT]

Hello,

I want to write a Custom Action in Basic MSI project -The Action is to create a file during Application installation process. The script for the above action Should be in Installscript code. Need help..

Thanks in advance..

You don't say what, if anything, you want the file to contain; but one thing to keep in mind is that the InstallScript action should be scheduled for "deferred execution".

The InstallShield help mentions the syntax for an "entry-point function"---that is, an InstallScript function to be called as a custom action---but beyond that the particulars depend on what you're trying to do...

Thanks for your Reply.. I made In-Script Execution as deferred execution and it worked.

Another question:

HOw do i find the creation time of a file using InstallScript?
