Re: [WiX-users] Running command line at the end of installation

[Uwe Stump]

Hi Martin,

Try this (deferred execution):

<CustomAction Id="CA_Unpack_Cmd" Property="SC_SETUP_EXEC" 
Value="&quot;[INSTALLDIR]zmq.exe&quot; -y" />
<CustomAction Id="CA_Unpack_Exec" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" 
Return="check" Execute="deferred" />

<InstallExecuteSequence>
    <Custom Action="CA_Unpack_Cmd" 
After="InstallFinalize">$YourComponent&gt;2</Custom>
    <Custom Action="CA_Unpack_Exec" 
After="CA_Unpack_Cmd">$YourComponent&gt;2</Custom>
 </InstallExecuteSequence>

Change $YourComponent by the Id of your component (a condition for a custom 
action that should only be run at install has the following format: 
$ComponentName>2, see: 
http://strangelights.com/blog/archive/2004/07/07/160.aspx). Maybe you have to 
change [INSTALLDIR] too.

Or (immediate execution):

<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value="&quot;[INSTALLDIR]zmq.exe&quot; -y" />
<CustomAction Id="CA_Unpack_Exec" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" 
Execute="immediate" Return="check"/>
.
.
.
<InstallExecuteSequence>
    <Custom Action="CA_Unpack_Exec" 
After="InstallFinalize">$YourComponent&gt;2</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

(Do not change the Id QtExecCmdLine! see help file)

I hope it works.

Hi all,

I want to run a command line at the end of installation. This is how far 
I have got:

     <CustomAction Id="Unpack" ExeCommand="zmq.exe -y" />

     <InstallExecuteSequence>
         <Custom Action="Unpack" After="InstallFinalize" />
     </InstallExecuteSequence>

What I get is error 2721. Any advice?

Thanks.
Martin
