Overview

This document outlines how to use a Custom Action to remove the ProPatches folder.  A Custom Actionmay include executing a specific command or invoking a custom batch file at specified time(s) during the deployment process. You can specify custom files and actions that occur during every deployment that uses the template, or only for those deployments that install a specific patch or service pack.
