Alex,
This thread
http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewt ... f=2&t=4315 might help you. It's a tad convuluted in places but the essential ingredient is the
FileBag. It lets you add files (like exes for examples) to a project but the files are not installed on your machine and survive only as long as your project takes to install/uninstall. You can then use the
Run Command to execute the exes anywhere in your script.
