Jose,
There are three things that you missed:
In your <CustomAction> element, you should specify the Execute attribute and
use "check" (run custom action synchronously, wait for return code) for the
Return attribute, like so:
<CustomAction Id="NotepadPopUp"
BinaryKey="Notepad.exe"
ExeCommand="c:\old.txt"
Execute="oncePerProcess"
Return="check" />
The <Custom> action requires inner text, specifying whether or not to
execute the custom action. If you always want to execute the action, you
can use 1, like so:
<Custom Action="NotepadPopUp" After="InstallFiles">1</Custom>
However, realize that this will ALSO run upon uninstall. If you don't want
this, try one of these:
<Custom Action="NotepadPopUp" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="NotepadPopUp" After="InstallFiles">NOT
REMOVE~="ALL"</Custom>
The first will run only upon initial install, not when repairing. The
second will not run when removing the entire package.
Hope this helps!

As a simple test, I've input the following code into a .wxs file:
<Binary Id="Notepad.exe" SourceFile="c:\WINNT\notepad.exe"/>
<CustomAction Id="NotepadPopUp"
BinaryKey="Notepad.exe"
ExeCommand="c:\old.txt" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="NotepadPopUp" After="InstallFiles"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Thus, I'm trying to get notepad to pop up "old.txt", with no apparent
results. The examples and documentation I've looked through suggest this is
correct, though - is there anything I might have missed? Thanks.
