I want to add an entry to one of the tables in Access MDB file during installation using an InstallSheild 2012 installer. Is there any way to do this?

InstallShield natively supposes MSSQL, Oracle and MySQL database connections / script execution. You'd have to write a custom action to connect to the MDB.

I agree this would be better done outside of the installer. If someone ever restored an older copy of the MDB ( it is just a file copy after all ) then the changes would be lost. It's better to handle it on run of the application.
