Is there a need to update a custom action's binary after each build?

Question

I have created a c++ custom action for a setup-project application in VS Team System 2008. Using ORCA I implemented it and inserted the binary image of the custom action. This works okay. Does the binary object remain intact after each subsequent build? i.e. I assume I do not need to update the binary data unless I make a change to the custom action binary. How does that work? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your assumption is correct. Each build picks the custom action DLL from its expected path and integrates it to the binary table.
