1. I'm using Final Builder Nant Proiject Action. Can I link the parameters section to the text file?

2. When I use UNINSTALL&nbsp;MSI&nbsp;option (For Install Shield package) with Async group with Run all Child Actions for 6 systems, I see that the uninstall option is happening as a normal action group instead of Multi Thread Process.

Hi   
  
Yes you can pass in property values to your Nant project via FinalBuilder. If you defined a property in your Nant build file called 'OutputDir' with a value of 'C:\Project1\Output'.

You could set this at run-time by adding OutputDir to the Properties grid within the Nant action and provide an alternative value. This would allow you to pass something such as %FBPROJECTDIR%\Output for example to set your output directory relative to your FinalBuilder project file.   
  
On the Async group that you are using, have you selected the 'Run all child actions asynchronously' option?   
  
Regards,   
Steve

Yes I&nbsp;selected the async group with 'Run all child actions asynchronously' option. Even then it doesnt work

Hi   
  
 Sorry for not responding earlier, I didn’t see that you had responded.   
  
 This seems to be a limitation of the Windows API that we are using for this action. We are not doing any locking or anything on this action (some actions are disabled from running under Async groups but this one is not).

Can this be fixed as this is delaying the process for installation or uninstallation
