Burn, running an EXE installer (which may contain a MSI installer) is not 
supported.  Create a Bundle, and place the exe installer into your chain.

Subject: [WiX-users] Run external Exe on Install

I have a prerequisite that must be run before my installer continues.  Can you 
give me a code example on:

1.       How to call the executable.  Custom action?  Script?

2.       How to verify that it ran.  Look for a file in a directory?

3.       How to pause the install until it is verified.

 

Thanks for your help.
