Got it! I was calling A.exe before InstallFinalize, however it it only
during this that the exe gets copied across and therefore it wasn't even
running when I thought it was. Changing from before to after does the
trick :)

Subject: [WiX-users] Running executables in Wix 3
I have two separate executables that I wish to run. The first is during
the install:
<CustomAction Id=LaunchAExeWithCLIAction' Directory='INSTALLDIR'
ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]A.exe -blah="blah"' Return='ignore' />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='LaunchAExeWithCLIAction' Before='InstallFinalize'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The second executable I wish to optionally launch upon clicking the
finish button at the end of the installation, dependent upon whether a
tickbox was selected:
<CustomAction Id='LaunchBExeAction' Directory='INSTALLDIR'
ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]B.exe' Return='asyncNoWait' />
<Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUIFinish)">
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="LaunchBExeAction">NOT Installed AND
IS_LAUNCH_ON_INSTALL="1"</Publish>
</Control>
What I want to happen is run A.exe, wait for it to finish, then
optionally run B.exe at a later point in the install. However, this does
not seem to happen. It seems as if they are being run at approximately
the same time and B does not wait for A to finish. Can anyone explain
why please?
Thanks,
Patrick
