|
On the Build menu, point to MSI Debugger and click Step Into. |
A dialog box opens and asks if you want to launch your registered debugger. Select Yes to launch the deubugger. Select No to step over to the next custom action.
Note:Because InstallShield does not provide the source code for the entry point, you will see some machine code once the registered debugger is launched. You need to click the Step Into button twice to see your code.
