modifing file after files are moved from custom action
Hi,
I am trying to modify a batch file from a CA, and have placed the CA(installscript) after the movefile standard CA. This CA should be called after the files are moved to the install location. But this is not happening, during installation the CA is called before the files are moved and this is causing the update operation to fail. Even i tried to place the CA just before InstallFinalize, the CA is called before moving the files. Am I doing anything wrong. I am using basic msi.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
rrb

Try sequence your custom action in the Deferred Execute sequence, before InstallFinalize, and see if that works.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
It worked. I also followed up with another thread and read the document mentioned in that, which explains about the custom action sequences. I am now clear about the CA sequences.
