InstallAware

Hi,

i need to set some variable inside IA from a C# function.
i know that with IS and his refernce "InstallShield.interop.msi" i can handle the custom action,

is there something similar?is this possible?

thanks
Riccardo

Dear Riccardo,

this is possible via IA Plugin. Please refer to the "Plug-In Authoring Overview" topic available with the InstallAware documentation.

In addition search for "Dot NET plugins" or "Net Bridge Plugins" in the "Plug-In Development" Forum.

Regards

Dear Riccardo,

with the link below is available a ready to use "Net Plugin sample".
http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8868

The above sample includes also the VS 2010 Net C# projects with the full source code and it demonstrates with very basic coding, how to handle InstallAware variables during a plugin execution.

Hope this helps you.

Regards

hi Francesco,

i tryed to watch your sample but i can't download it, because i can't find the file, and the page showed me the error attached below.

thanks
Riccardo
