I have a BasicMSI project.  In that I have merge module that contains a VB6 dll.  I need to access that dll during my UI to verify a license.  Before, in IS 6.0, I copied the dll to the machine then created the object in script and accessed it's properties that way.  It worked great.  Now I need a custom action to that same thing.  How do I do that?  Can I just use the StandardDLL action to do this?  I don't want to call a function in the DLL I want to create an object from it. Or, do I need to create a VBScript custom action to do it?  If I need VBScript, how do I set a property in the property table to the value returned by my VBScript?  Can I call the MSISetProperty function directly from my VBScript?  Is there a helpful reference for all these questions?

Thanks for any help you can give.

You will need to use a script (e.g. VBScript, InstallScript).

To set a propety use
session.property("YOURPROPERTY") = "bla"
