Thanks for the reply, however nothing gets run - I checked in the log file
generated by the msi but I don't see any error or entry for the cmd.exe.
I tried the following but still to no avail - I'm sure I'm not the only one
trying to install Tomcat service part as a background task -
Thanks to share any sample code or idea on what I might still be doing
wrong....
<Fragment>
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value='"[System64Folder]cmd.exe"
"C:\tomcat\bin\service.bat install Tomcat7"'/>
<CustomAction Id="TomcatInstall_Cmd" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
<CustomAction Id="TomcatInstall" ExeCommand='"[System64Folder]cmd.exe"
"C:\tomcat\bin\service.bat install Tomcat7"' Directory="TOMCAT_BIN"
Execute="deferred" Return="asyncNoWait"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="TomcatInstall_Cmd" Before="TomcatInstall"></Custom>
<Custom Action="TomcatInstall" After="InstallFiles"></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
</Fragment>

CAQuietExec action should be immediate which is correct but the action using
it must be deferred.
Like this:
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value=""C:\tomcat\bin\service.bat install
Tomcat7""/>
<CustomAction Id="TomcatInstall_Cmd" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
<CustomAction Id="TomcatInstall"
ExeCommand=""C:\tomcat\bin\service.bat install Tomcat7""
Directory="TOMCAT_BIN_DIR" Execute="deferred" Return="asyncNoWait"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action=" TomcatInstall_Cmd " Before=" TomcatInstall"></Custom>
<Custom Action="TomcatInstall" After="InstallFiles"></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

I'm not really sure how to install it - Maybe I can't use ServiceInstall as
the "Arguments" based on the doc is supposed to be used to start a service
and not install a service as I'm trying to do.
Next, I tried using "service.bat install Tomcat7" to install Tomcat. It
works fine in a command line but when I use the following CustomAction
nothing happens. Am I using it correctly?
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value=""C:\tomcat\bin\service.bat install
Tomcat7""/>
<CustomAction Id="TomcatInstall" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
<CustomAction Id="TomcatInstall"
ExeCommand=""C:\tomcat\bin\service.bat install Tomcat7""
Directory="TOMCAT_BIN_DIR" Execute="immediate" Return="asyncNoWait"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="TomcatInstall" After="InstallFiles"></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Thank you

Do you know how you are supposed to install Tomcat as a service? If that
-install option is what actually installs Tomcat as an NT service, then you
shouldn't be using ServiceInstall because that installs it as a service too.
