Can't you Just set an exit action on the Finish button like below? I use this to open PDF user guides after the installation is complete.
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Order="1" Event="DoAction" Value="DisplayPDF"><![CDATA[DISPLAYPDF = "1" AND NOT REMOVE]]></Publish> -----Original Message----- From: Sudripta Nandy (Sarangsoft Corporation) [mailto:v-su...@microsoft.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 3:22 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Run executable after setup After the completion of my setup, I need to launch the main executable of the software. In the manifest file of the main executable the execution level has been set to 'requireAdministrator'. The wix file has a custom action to launch the main executable. The custom action is given as: <CustomAction Id="StartApp" Directory="INSTALLDIR" ExeCommand="[INSTALLDIR]MyApp.exe" Return="asyncNoWait" /> The problem is that the MSI is failing to launch the executable and returning the error code 1631... this is probably because the application needs to run with elevated privileges. I can't run the executable in deferred mode as I need to run it at a very late stage (after completing the setup, when the user clicks the 'Finish' button on my final dialog). Because in deferred mode I need to sequence it between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. Any ideas on how to run the executable... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
