InstallScript Debugger does not start when i try to step into a custom action

[benneli]

Hi,

I'm using InstallShield 2009 and I'd like to debug one CustomAction by setting a breakpoint within the MSI Debugger. I started the debugger and it stopped on the breakpoint I set. However, when I click "Step Into" button to try to step into my CustomAction, which run the InstallScript code, I got:

Function C:\....Temp\_is348.tmp:f6 will be called, do you want to debug it?

I clicked YES and got the following message:

Once your registered debugger is launched, you need to hit the Step Into button twice to see your code.

I clicked OK but nothing happened, and the MSI-Debugger just proceeds to the next action.

Can anybody tell me what I was missed. Thanks!

Regards,
Ben

Anybody can help here. Thanks a lot

To debug InstallScript custom actions, please try launching the setup.exe with the /d parameter or passing the property and value ISSCRIPTDEBUG=1.

so for .MSI, we don't have a method?

Thanks a lot, I got your idea from the Help Docs. Appreciate your hints.
