Hi, After install/uninstall, I noticed there were a lot of leftover files in the Temp folder. Most of them are different folders that contain ISBEWX64 file and one is a copy of the setup.exe, prq and msi. I already tried rebooting the machine and the files were still there. My settings are MSZIP for compression and Extract from Setup.exe. Is there a way for Installshield to automatically delete these files? ... View more

Hi,I'm trying to switch from wix to Installshield and I'm trying to do the following custom actions: <CustomAction Id="Install" Return="check" Execute="deferred" BinaryKey="CustomCA.dll" DllEntry="InstallPlugins" Impersonate="no" /> <CustomAction Id="CustomActionDataInstall" Property="Install" Value="customParameters=[PROPERTY1]|[PROPERTY2]|[PROPERTY3]|[PROPERTY4]|[PROPERTY4]"/> I had tried adding a custom action MSI dll called InstallTest that references CustomCA.dll in a Merge Modul. Within the Installshield MSI Project, I added a custom action to set the property InstallTest with the value customParameters=[PROPERTY1]|[PROPERTY2]|[PROPERTY3]|[PROPERTY4]|[PROPERTY4]. I then added that property set and dll run after InstallInitialize. When I run the installer, I see the InstallTest property having the correct values but when it runs the dll, it shows the error below. Am I missing anything with using custom action DLLs? Is there a better way to call a custom action dll and pass parameters?
