Question

Can I launch a custom action in InstallShield Express from the Support Files view?

Answer

InstallShield provides the option to launch custom actions from the Binary table (Browse File system) or from the installed location. You can use the SUPPORTDIR variable in the command-line section of the custom action to point to a file in the Support Files view, however, the custom action executable or DLL cannot be launched from SUPPORTDIR itself.
