InstallShield enables you to copy a custom action in one sequence to another sequence through a drag-and-drop operation.

To copy a custom action from one sequence to another:

In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Custom Actions and Sequences.

In the Sequences explorer, find the action that you want to copy.

Press and hold CTRL while dragging the custom action from one sequence to another sequence, and drop it onto the action or dialog that should be directly before it.

Note • A custom action cannot be called twice in the same sequence, since the custom action name is the key in the CustomAction table. Therefore, you cannot move or copy a custom action to a sequence that already contains that custom action.

Dialogs and standard actions cannot be moved to a different type of sequence through a drag-and-drop operation.
