I'd like to launch an immediate custom action in the user interface sequence that launch an executable that is stored in the binary table. This executable must take a file in parameter that is also stored in the binary table. Is is possible ?
Thanks

You will need a dll to extract the parameter file before calling the execution CA.  And a second dll to clean it up again.

If someone already wrote such a dll, I'm very interested !
Otherwise, some directions will be welcome.
Thanks

There's a script called StreamFileFromBinary which allows you to dump a file out of the binary table.  That should be available somewhere on this site.  (I think.)
