I need to consume a COM dll in my Installscript project. The COM functions expect BSTR for the input arguments.
What is the installscript equivalent of BSTR? I am using IS 2009 professional.
Thanks

Given IS's rudimentary types, it seems like the closest equivalent is simply STRING.

More than likely, you won't be able to do that. If you can, let us know how you did it.
Otherwise, here are two suggestions:
1) Write a custom .dll to call the COM function.
2) Create and use the COM objects directly in InstallScript.
If you don't like writing complicated C++, you should do the second one.
