Pre-build VI for Installer Build Specification

[NathanDII]

EXE build specifications have the option of running a VI before and/or after the build process.  It does not appear that this is available for installer build specifiications.  Is there a way to acheive the same affect with the installer build specification other than doing it manually or having to do trigger the actual build process programmatically from a VI?

Currently using LabVIEW 2013 SP1 (possibly upgrading to 2015 SP1 eventually).

No, there isn't a built in way to do this as part of the installer.  However, if you have Application Builder the you also have the application builder palette.

With the functions in this palette you can create a VI to do the pre-build actions you want to do and then run the Installer Builder.  Not exactly built into the installer but really nice if you want to create your own automated builder.
