Submitted by nishikiran on 30 June, 2008 - 11:59.
Dear,
I am Repackaging an application which is installing 4 servies, after installing services i need to call a web application to perform some action (It will pop up a box with some fields, need to enter some information).Then i have to copy some file into installation location as the application is not installing these files.while installing the application, client wants the application to ask for the installation location (not to install to default location) I have done installaing servies, calling web application from a custom action, but not able to give the custon installation location drive as it is not asking for any location,
Please Guide me as i am very new to MSI.
Thanks
Kiran
