Calling C# dlls from CAs
Posted 19 December 2001 - 07:00
If yes, what Custom Action Type to be used?
Any restriction on the calling convention and input/output parameters on C# dlls?
How to call it?

wrapper around your c# classes (Can be done automatic)
You can call COM objects via InstallScript or VBScript, so you can call your C# code.
If this is really the way to go, I don't know, bud that's what I would try

But I don't want to use VBScript or any script, for that matter. I want to make a direct call from the custom action as we do with C++ dlls.
I found the following in the InstallShield website for Developer 7.02 :-
-- Complete Support for .NET "Custom Actions" - ...
... Developers can author their custom actions in the same .NET language used to write the application, eliminating the need to learn a new language....
This looks like it's very much possible to call C# dlls from Custom Actions without any intermediate wrapper. I'm very much excited about this feature and very eager to know more on this.
Any ideas...
