Hi,

I need to create a new project using InstallShield 11 (Basic MSI project type)
Previously I have always used InstallScriptMSI project type and I am not familiar with the Basic MSI project type
I need to implement the following two tasks
1) I have to launch a custom action after all the files are installed. (I used to do this in OnEnd in InstallScriptMSI)
2) I have to launch another custom Action only during maintenance mode (I used to this using MAINTENANCE system variable in InstallScriptMSI)
It would really help me if some of you could point me to proper knowledge base articles or any other documents regarding custom action and sequences basics.

Thanks & Regards,

1) If your custom action needs to access the installed files you could create a deferred execution custom action directly prior to InstallFinalize. There are some complexities involved with using property values in deferred mode, but if you just need INSTALLDIR it should work

2) You could try this condition: Installed AND (Not REMOVE="ALL")
