Place a file in APPDIR from a Custom Action in Advanced Installer

Question

Is it possible to place a file, created/modified from a Custom Action, in the APPDIR ? Or some sort of workaround? I'm wondering if I have to make a XCOPY in my Team Build code, to move the file manually.

The Directory ("APPDIR") doesn't exists at the time i'm trying.

I've move my Custom Action to "Finish Dialogs Stage" and it's execution Time is Immediately.

Just try to add your custom action as deferred and with no impersonation after the Install Execution Stage -- Add Resources action. Maybe your custom action needs more rights to create the file.
