Installer question???

Hi,

I'd like to add a custom action to my installer project and I would like
that custom action to be an entry point into a C# DLL. I have read and
understand how to add a custom action to an installer, but I can't for the
life of me find an example of specifying an entry point into a C# dll as the
entry point...

Aka - What the heck do I put for the "entry point" in my custom action? Is
there aspecific call signature that my method must have? Must my method be
static?

You have to derive from Installer class and override its methods.
