CA to extract "Setup Helper" Files #2776

Open wixbot opened 14 years ago

wixbot commented 14 years ago

Hi all,

A nice feature would be a component which can extract "Setup Helper Files" (InstallShield: Support Files) to a temporary folder during installation. Afterwards the installation can use it again for deleting that temporary content.

InstallShield here has implemented the following approach: SFHelper.dll: implements the two functions ISSetupFilesExtract and ISSetupFilesCleanup to extract the files as well as to cleanup them. The files then are stored in the table ISSetupFile in the MSI as BinaryData.

Best regards Tobias
