BindImage Action

Windows Installer

BindImage Action

The BindImage action binds each executable or DLL that must be bound to the DLLs imported by it. The BindImage action acts on each file in the BindImage table, but only those that are to be installed locally. The installer computes the virtual address of each function imported from all DLLs, then saves the computed virtual address in the importing image's import address table (IAT).

The BindImage Action internally calls the BindImageEx Windows API.

Sequence Restrictions

The BindImage action must come after the InstallFiles action.
