  • Support for .NET Core Custom Actions

    InstallShield 2024 R1 enables you to add the .NET Core type of custom action in the Custom Actions and Sequences view for a project to support the .NET Core based assembly files. The .NET Core type of custom action calls a public method in a .NET assembly that is written in a managed code such as Visual Basic .NET or C#.
