Hi all,

I am working on msi project(installshield10.5). I have one custom action, I placed this action in sequence. But I need to execute this custom action more than two times repeatedly.
Please can you tell anybody how to solve this problem.

Regards
Raghu.

What is this custom action doing? There may be an alternate way to achieve what you want.

In InstallShield you can rigth click to custom action in Behavior and Logic/Custom Actions and select Clone.
In Orca you must to copy the row with your CustomAction in the CustomAction Table, rename the Action value to a new value and reference it in InstallExecuteSequence or InstallUISequence (if it's an action for installation).
