Can anyone tell me if I can create custom actions using Visual Studio
Installer 6 ? (All I can find is .NET) Is it possible in VS6 ?

ThanQ

A custom action can be in the form of a DLL or EXE, which you can create
using VS. (for the DLL use C++ not VB)

I can't see a way to add a custom action in the VS Installer that's based on VS
6. I've not used that version much, but I'm danged if I can find an IDE way to
add a custom action.

Sorry I was talking about VS.NET. So this may be a limitation in VS6. So
your options are: Orca (a raw MSI database table editor), or upgrading to
VS.NET, or a full featured third party MSI authoring tool. (See
http://www.installsite.org/go/msidev.htm for a list)
