First I tried following:
<CustomAction Id="MyEXECA" Property="[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe"
ExeCommand="" Return="ignore" />
And next following:
<Property Id="PROP_MYEXE" Value="[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe" />
<CustomAction Id="MyEXECA" Property="PROP_MYEXE" ExeCommand=""
Return="ignore" />
In both cases installation passed to the end without error messages but
also without any mentioning about required custom action. And only in
log I found info about my CA:
"Info 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact
your support personnel or package vendor. Action: InstDCOM2, location:
[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe, command: "
and:
"Property(S): PROP_MYEXE = [SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe"
So why MSI installer does not resolve properties [SourceDir] and
[REDIST_DIR] in to their values?
I finally achieve required CA after using property MYEXEEXISTS that get
from:
<Property Id="MYEXEEXISTS">
<DirectorySearch Id="MYREDISTDIR" Path="[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]"
Depth="0">
<FileSearch Id="MYEXEFILESEARCH" Name="my.exe" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
