Referencing files in New-Installer

PowerShell Tools
1

As Installer Files are referenced in other commands by FileId, it would be nice to reference the files, directories, and even shortcuts (installed location) in all commands, so they can be passed as arguments to other programs or scripts.

Example 1: I would like to reference a directory (path) and a file (path and file name) in the arguments of the shortcut.

Example 2: I would also like to have a reference (path and file name) of the created shortcut, to be passed to the installer custom action.

That’s a good suggestion. I’ll log it as an enhancement request on my end and see about getting that implemented.

Thanks, it would be good to reference files, directories, and even the shortcut as parameters to the Custom Actions
