I need a CA Windows Installer DLL to read values from an ini file. Doesn't have to find sections (better not, really) only find the key-name =" and return the value, so I can set a property to the value.
Any already existing out there?
Thanks,

You'll have to write your own DLL for this one. The functions you want to use are GetPrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileInt, which take the file name as a parameter.
If you want to read an INI file that's included with your installation, you'll have to place your custom action(s) after ResolveSource in the execution sequence. The SourceDir property is unavailable until this action has run, and you're therefore unable to find where the INI file is located.
