Hi,
I have my msi file created using WIX. I want to make setup.exe which does
some tasks like copying some file and renaming it and finally launch msi
installer.
How can I do that setup.exe?
Thanks,
Hukum

I'd suggest writing it in C++ if it's possible users won't have .NET

You're probably missing a reference to WixUI_Common where all those are
defined.

You need to keep the original conditions as they rely on properties set
by the custom action called by DoAction.

It looks like it may be a possible permissions issue.

I would investigate the dll loading code then, maybe you are discarding
an error that would be helpful.

I am at a loss for how to get this done the suggested way. I found some info on

A solution I have been using is AutoIt V3 scripting language. I create
self-extracting executables that are then distributed to the customer. I
would recommend downloading the SciTE editor as well - it has a lot of
additional features.

Again, I found my solution by myself:
To define custom conditions for the SchedXmlConfig action that gets added when
you use XMLConfig, you simply have to reschedule it in the
installExecuteSequence and there, you will be able to set your own conditions.
For instance:
InstallExecuteSequence
CustomActions are very hard to write correctly. There are lots of moving
parts that they have to fit in between. The way I learned it was to read
the MSI SDK pages about CustomActions a few times. There is a lot of
data to digest. DTF is just a managed wrapper around all of those
concepts so
OK, please don't throw me rocks... When I tried to debug my custom action, I
realised I reversed the condition ( 1 instead of =1)... I hope this won't
happen again as I feel so shameful :P

We have successfully built and utilized a MST file when deploying our RTM
version of our product. A separate MST file is built for each of our
separate environments .. Dev, Integration, and Production. We use the
following command to pass in this transform file:

If you encrypt it, you'll have to have some process (CustomAction) run
during the install to unencrypt it. The SCM API requires the password in

Hi,
I made a custom action that needs to run only if a checkbox was checked during

seems that no matter what I do, the action is always ran.

However I think it searches only system folder. The .ini file is part of

You can either copy your .ini file to windows folder during installation or
