[cvsnt] Re: Problem with post install custom action

[Casey Schmit]

Pulled down the source and looked at the installer wxs files.  I think all 
that needs to be done is to change the following:

BinaryKey="Postinst.exe"

to

FileKey="postinst.exe"

I think that should be the piece that turns it into a action type of 18. 
I'd build and test, but I haven't gotten around to building the full thing 
just yet.  If that works, then you should be able to remove the line that 
adds postinst.exe to the binary table.

<Binary Id="Postinst.exe" src="$(var.CVSNT_BASE)\postinst.exe" />

Thanks,

Casey
