Is there any way to debug a deployment project in the IDE

[GazzaJ]

I have a deployment project which runs Custom Actions before and after installation - these actions call a class to deal with backing up a database and then updating the schema to a current version. Is there anyway of debugging this class as the deployment is being executed? At present I write all actions out to a log and ensure everything is working that way. If I want to test something failing by inserting some code I need to rebuild the deployment each time.

Are you using a NET Custom Action? http://weblogs.asp.net/josh.robinson/archive/2004/12/20/327381.aspx[^] I have never tried it myself. If you are using an Installer class, how are you getting it to execute before the installation?

I am using a NET Custom Action and the technique in the link worked a treat. Thanks very much.
