How to call vbscript from Install shield script

Question

i am new to this install shield environment. My requirement is that i want to execute the VB script at the end of installation. We can achieve this operation using Custom action feature in install shield. But i have to pass 2 parameters to VB script. To achieve that, I have created a setup.rul (install shield script) to call the VB script and pass the parameters. Here i need assistance on how to call the VB Script from Install shield script and to pass the parameters. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You don't have to wrap your script in a setup.rul.

You can create directly a Visual Basic script action (I would suggest Stored in binary table since it allows you to store it as a vbs file next to your ISM and so it's easier to maintain).

Inside your vbScript, you can use the Session.Property("MyProperty") method to recover and set properties from your msi.

N.B. If you plan using a deferred action, then the only property available will be "CustomActionData".
