Hi,
I need to writre a string to a file the installer installs on the destination computer. I use
VBScript to do the job but Norton Antivirus pops up saying it is a malicious script! That
is not acceptable in an installer...is there other ways to accomplish it?
Thanks!

You could use a DLL or EXE to write to the file. Or tell users to turn of Norton AntiVirus (or any virus scannere they may be running)

Hi,
I remember in the old Wise InstallBuilder there is a custom action built-in that
writes a string to a text file...now with MSi I need to write a exe or dll myself to
achieve that goal? Isn't that just a step backward?
Thanks for your help anyways!

MSi can write to INI files. Other file writing operations are not included.
