Define Setup Requirements and Actions View
Custom actions and setup requirements are both useful ways to achieve functionality that is not supported by the Windows Installer service. Through custom actions, you can launch executable files, run script, or call functions from DLLs. By setting requirements, you can ensure that your product does not get installed onto a machine that does not meet your software’s hardware needs.

Custom actions allow you to add functionality to your setup that is not inherently supported by Windows Installer. These actions can be used for anything from displaying a readme file to deleting registry entries. |

If there are specific files that you need to be available to your setup project only during installation, you can add those files in the Setup Files view. |
