Try moving it sooner. You could run ProDriverRemove after InstallInitialize. Running it before RemoveFiles means it is likely scheduled after RemoveRegistryValues which might be the real problem. Look at the InstallExecuteSequence table using Orca to help with the ordering. Also, you might want to add some additional conditions to ensure that it only runs when the product is being removed, such as REMOVE~="ALL". -----Original Message----- From: kurt.jen...@us.ophiropt.com [mailto:kurt.jen...@us.ophiropt.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 7:10 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] EXE custom action cannot run because DLLs are removed Did not get any responses and was out on Friday. I am running an installed EXE during the uninstall. This EXE requires DLLs that were also installed. But the EXE is not running. From the log I can see the custom action is scheduled, some DLLs are removed, then the EXE starts. The EXE will not run without those DLLs. The EXE uninstalls a driver so must run deferred in order to get elevated privileges. I have tried various Before and After in the InstallExecuteSequence without any luck. I've also searched the archive with no luck. Here is a snippet of the WXS <CustomAction Id="ProDriverInstall" Directory="APPLICATIONDIRECTORY" ExeCommand="[APPLICATIONDIRECTORY]$(var.ProDriverInstallation.TargetName)" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="asyncWait" /> <CustomAction Id="ProDriverRemove" Directory="APPLICATIONDIRECTORY" ExeCommand="[APPLICATIONDIRECTORY]ProDriverRemoval.exe" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="asyncWait" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="ProDriverInstall" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="ProDriverRemove" Before="RemoveFiles">Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Any idea how I can get this to work?
