Hello All,
Is there a way to have Visual Studio Installer call a user built dll or
function during installation? Can Installer build an ".msi" that will not
function if copied to another CD or floppy?

Thanks, McRolin

Hi there.

Im not an expert in VS Installer....

You can use a custom action to call into an exe passing command line
parameters or run a script.
I dont think Installer has any tricks to stop the copying of msi's - I
think you'd have to code that check yourself and set it up as a custom
action. Of course for such a check, you'd want to be able to retreive
something that is unqiue for the CD/floppy that cant be easily duplicated.
(What that may be I dont know).
