Sample .cub File
This sample illustrates the layout of a .cub file containing two ICEs. The installer executes the custom actions in the sequence: ICE01 and ICE08.
The custom action ICE01 is a Custom Action Type 1. It is an entry point to a DLL that is stored as a stream in the .cub file. This stream is listed in the Binary Table ice.dll.
The custom action ICE08 is a Custom Action Type 6. It is an entry point to a function in VBScript that is stored as a stream in the .cub file. This stream is listed in the Binary Table as ice.vbs.
