<CustomAction Id="installMTMAgentService" Directory="pythonD0"
ExeCommand="python.exe ..\..\mtmCore\python\service.pyc install" />

Action start 13:42:34: installMTMAgentService.

Hello,
If the python.exe file and the service.pyc file are integrated in the Wix
file, you can use the following code :
<CustomAction Id="LaunchPythonExe"
Directory='IdOfTheDirectoryContaintThePythonExe' ExeCommand=' python.exe
service.pyc intsall' />

Hi,
i'm trying to call a python script after the install via a custom action
this is the code which i have
<CustomAction Id="setPropertyPythonEXE" Property ="pythonExe"
Value="[INSTALLDIR]mtm\thirdParty\python2.4\python.exe" />
<CustomAction
Id="invokeInstallService" Property ="pythonExe"
ExeCommand="[INSTALLDIR]mtm\mtmCore\python\agent\service.pyc install" />
however the problem is that the exeCommand is read by python as one long
file name, so i believe this is being passed to the command line
>"c:\Program Files\Abilisoft\mtm\thirdParty\python2.4\python.exe"
"c:\Program Files\Abilisoft\mtm\mtmCore\python\agent\service.pyc install"
i need the install to be passed after the file name? is there anyway to do
this?
