Newbie question I'm afraid. I want to move the 'ask destination folder' dialog (AskDestPath) to the front of the dialog sequence. Looking in the Custom Actions -> User interface I cannot see how the dialog is invoked or sequenced.

Hi. I'm trying to add a prerequisite using the prerequisite editor. I add an .exe and fill in the other tabs. there is no 'save' tab but when I exit the dialog it asks if I want to save and I say yes. I bring up the editor again and it is empty - WTF?

I've used the product to install files and assemblies etc before but not created/updated a database so any advice would be gratefully received Thanks Jason ... View more

Please can someone advise me if, and if so, how to call a static .Net method from installscript? I want to use Dns.GetHostName(); I presume the DotNetCoCreateObject does what is says and creates an object so wouldn't work in this case? I'm guessing I'll have to wrap the call in one of my own .net objects Thanks ... View more
