I think I will use Binarykey as this file is only needed at install time which
generates an unique license file. After that the purpose is nill for this file.

I serached on web and could not find proper documents.
Please anybody know help.

Binary Key -> takes a <binary> tag with a dll/exe and will run it
without extracting/installing it (the Binary is only valid at installtime)
File key -> an extracted file that you need to access at install time also.
This file will also be available after installation as per your <file> tag.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to call an exe
I really fed up working with .dll as there is no debug available. Now I
created an .exe with the same code.
From the command line the usage is as folows:
write.lic.exe 61177-1128925439-1187326800 9.0
I need to pass the CD-Label key in the first argument and the version as
second argument.
I wrote the wix tag as follows:
<Binary Id='WixLicense' SourceFile="write_lic.exe"/>
<CustomAction Id='createLicense' BinaryKey="write_lic.exe"
ExeCommand= ' "61177-1128925439-1187326800" "9.0" ' Execute="commit"
Return="ignore"/>
the sequence as follows:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
<Custom Action= "createLicense" After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
It compiles fine and links fine. When I execute the msi installer crashes.
I donot know what is happening here.
Please somebody help me. Also, do I need to use "Binarykey" Or "FileKey" in
Custom Action? and what is the difference between the two.
<CustomAction Id='createLicense' BinaryKey="write_lic.exe"
ExeCommand= ' "61177-1128925439-1187326800" "9.0" ' Execute="commit"
Return="ignore"/>
Thanks
