Customer Installer

[Tim Marsden]

Hi,

I wish to create a installer for my app.
The installer must prompt the user to input a Path to a file.
Non of the dialog templates gives me the option to prompt for a file name
and path, with a browse button.
I have added a custom action program, can I make advantage of this? or can I
create a new template?

Hello Tim,

Thanks for posting. Are you working with Visual Studio .Net's Setup
project? If this is the case, it already has a form for target installation
path (named "Installation Folder"). Apart from the existing form templates,
we cannot create a custom form template.

You may need to use some Windows Installer Platform SDK tool to modify the
raw MSI directly to achieve your goal:
