Thanks Pally. I read the link and modified my Custom Action as:
<CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices1' FileKey='tao_imr.exe' ExeCommand=' -ORBInitRef ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]/VPCommon/Locator.ior shutdown VPWEBSERVER' DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return='ignore' /> However, I got the compiler error: D:\Project\ViewPoint6\Data Files\Setup\VP6Wix\InstallDirDlg.wxs(50,0): error CNDL0023: The CustomAction/@DllEntry attribute cannot coexist with a previously specified attribute on this element. The CustomAction element may only have one of the following target attributes specified at a time: DllEntry, Error, ExeCommand, JScriptCall, Script, Value, or VBScriptCall. It sounds that I should not add DllEntry="CAQuietExec". How can I use QtExec? Furthermore, I don't know how to add -ext WixUtilExtension.dll To project property in Visual Studio. Do you have some experences how to use QtExec? Regards, Chunyan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 11.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to run exe in CA without flashing the command-linewindow Hi wix-users, I have one Custom Action, which runs an executable. It works fine. However, the command-line window will flash shortly. If I run several such Custom Actions, there will be several command-line windows flashing. It is very annoying. How to run the executable without flashing? My custom Action is defined as: <CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices1' FileKey='tao_imr.exe' ExeCommand=' -ORBInitRef ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]/VPCommon/Locator.ior shutdown VPWEBSERVER' Execute="deferred" Return='ignore' /> Thanks in advance!
