Hello.

I need to run external stand-alone exe-file that is not part of the 
installation package and is not included into Binary table.
Does anybody can explain how to create such custom action using WiX?

I tried following:

<CustomAction Id="ExeFile" 
ExeCommand="[SourceDir][ExeFilePATH]\Myprogram.exe" Return="ignore" />

and get an error during installation. Log says:
   Doing action: EXEFILE
   Action start: EXEFILE.
   Note: 1: 2721 2: EXEFILE
   DEBUG: Error 2721:  Custom action EXEFILE not found in Binary table 
stream
     The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this 
package.
     This may indicate a problem with this package.
     The error code is 2721.
     The arguments are: EXEFILE, ,
   Action ended 16:04:00: EXEFILE. Return value 3.

Orca shows that this CA has type 66.

Best regards,
