Can you WiX experts take a bit of your time to point me out the problems below? I used exactly the example code from wix.chm, but it doesn't work for me. Am I doing the right thing? I really appreciate it if you can give me some clue.
Basically, I'd just like to run a small program right after the installation but before the main application getting launched. Thank you! /Brian ________________________________ From: little.forest <little.for...@ymail.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 2:51:17 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.0: How to run a program Hi, I re-read the wix.chm and found "Quiet Execution Custom Action". I tried to use the example in wix.chm. But when I run it, I got these errors: MSI (s) (68!58) [13:58:06:803]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting QtExecCmdLine property. Its current value is '"[INSTALLLOCATION]abc.exe"'. CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070003: Command failed to execute. CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070003: CAQuietExec Failed Action ended 13:58:06: QtExecExample.. Return value 3. Here is my code: <Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value='"[INSTALLLOCATION]abc.exe"'/> <CustomAction Id="QtExecExample" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="QtExecExample" Before="InstallFinalize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> I'd like to run this "abc.exe" program after the installation but before the main application got launched(which is controlled by a checkbox on the final page). Can someone point out the errors here? I did check the "C:\Program Files\MyApp" folder, the files are not even installed. That maybe the reason that abc.exe is not run? Is it okay to run it before "InstallFinalize"? If not, which action sequence I should use? I'd really appreciate it. /Brian __________________________________________________________________ The new Internet Explorer® 8 - Faster, safer, easier. Optimized for Yahoo!
