Thanks Sohail. If anybody knows how to fix this, please tell me. Thanks in advance.
I don't know how to use batch file in customaction. But I found http://blogs.technet.com/b/alexshev/archive/2008/02/21/from-msi-to-wix-part-5-custom-actions.aspx. Even Rob said it's not good(http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/robmen_20040520.htm ), I just want to get something working today. We need to ship something tonight. Anyway, I found type 22(vbscript) maybe the one we need. So I tried it. But it doesn't work for me. I mean, the vbscript itself works, here it is: ~~~~ Public Function Main() Dim WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\MyApp" WshShell.Run "adxreg.exe /install=myapp.dll" Set WshShell = Nothing End Function Main ~~~~ This works fine if I just run it. But if I include it in code it doesn't work: <Component Id="Component_TFR" Guid="*"> <File Id='File_Fix' Name='fix.vbs' Source="fix.vbs" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes"/> </Component> <CustomAction Id="DoDllRegistration" FileKey="File_Tfr" VBScriptCall="Main" Execute="deferred" Return="ignore" HideTarget="no" Impersonate="no" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="DoDllRegistration" Before="InstallFinalize" >Not Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Here is log: Action 16:08:42: DoDllRegistration.
