Step 6: Assigning Custom Actions

On the Deployment Custom Action Information screen, you can select and create custom actions, and assign these actions to certain conditions. For example, you can use this screen to make sure that a specific package is deployed after the user downloads the web-deployable installation of the HostExplorer product, or you can run a specific program before an upgrade.

To define a new custom action:

  1. Click the New Custom Action button. The Custom Action Properties dialog box opens.
  2. Specify custom actions and trigger properties in the dialog box. The options that display depend on your selection in the Custom Action Type box and on which trigger type you choose.
    Note: 
      For more information, see Custom Action Properties Dialog Box.
  3. Click OK to return to the Deployment Custom Action Information screen.

To edit the properties of a custom action:

  1. Click the Edit Selected Custom Actions button. The Custom Action Properties dialog box opens.
  2. Modify the properties in the dialog box as necessary.
  3. Click OK to return to the Deployment Custom Action Information screen.

To make certain custom actions unavailable for deployment:

  1. In the Custom Actions Assignments area, select the custom action that you want to remove.
  2. Click the Delete Selected Custom Action button. The selected action is removed from the list.

Click Next to enable or disable features.
