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

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