Within the professional edition of Installshield you control the settings of custom actions in the "Custom Actions and sequences" view.
By expanding the sequences in the middle windows you can select where you want your custom actions to launch and what (if any) conditions to place upon them.
You mentioned you want 7 custom actions after the license agreement dialog - where exactly after do you want them? When the user clicks the "agree" button or at some other point after this?
To start the 5 custom actions after a completed installation - care must be taken that any data they require to function correctly is fully available to them. As the Installer would have completed, any information that only exists during the context of the installation would no longer be available.
You could place them as a "do action" on SetupCompleteSuccess dialog finish button. Alternativly you can place them all as immediate actions after the "InstallFinalize" action in the execute sequence.
Thank you very much for replying, it is appreciated.
The custom actions after the license agreement should happen in the sequence I set them up after the client agree's to license terms.
Regarding the after installation actions. I developed these custom actions over the years in InstallShield Express and they have always worked perfectly when executed at that point. I would expect that to continue??
When I converted my project from Install Shield Express to Install Shield pro 2021.
The custom actions do appear under Custom Actions and Sequences-Custom Actions. But nothing appears under Sequence. I guess this is what I am not understanding. I believe they have to be to When and Where to execute
You can check where the custom actions are in the sequence as shown above. If they do not appear in the sequence its possible that they are triggered by Do Actions on a dialog.
