[wix-users] Multiple Custom Actions in Visual Studio

[Wheeler, Blaine (DSHS/DCS)]

The first pro/con is to verify that the custom action you are creating is not possible with existing Wix functionality.  I almost always find that the problem has already been solved

There's an overhead/bloat advantage in doing this.  But this assumes that you want to ship all those custom actions atomically with whatever installer(s) will be consuming them.

As with almost everything there  are  pros and cons to weigh.

Hi Folks,

You can definitely have several CustomActions in a single project.  You'd specify the same BinaryKey but a different DllEntry on your <CustomAction ... /> statement.

Subject: [wix-users] Multiple Custom Actions in Visual Studio

If I need multiple custom actions inside my MSI, do they have to be built using separate Visual Studio projects or they can be built using different classes inside the same project? I mean, should the custom action DLL
(assembly) be different for each custom action or it can be the same for different custom actions?Please advise.
