Re: Custom Action for service install

Thanks for your response. Its just that I need.

But now, I don't find the sources

                <binary name="MSVBDPCADLL" value="MSVBDPCADLL.dll" />
                <binary name="VSDNETCFG" value="VSDNETCFG.dll" />

Where can I find the dlls?

Thanks for advance.
