good day Alex!

Thanks a lot for your work. This is nice set of tutorial.

Can you answer for my question - i want to call function in custom dll and save return value to custom property. Can I do this using standart set of action type? Or it is possible to do only by set a property value inside dll (using MsiGetProperty and MsiSetProperty)? May be you have new article about this?

Why go through all this? Why not just add an empty file placeholder to your deployment tree? Done!

Thank you so much for this comprehensive and clear article.

I was deciding whether to use WIX or NSIS and your examples gave me the confidence on using WIX.
