Title: Re: [WiX-users] How ro create CustomAction Type 34?

To set the value of the property "MyEXECA" you need another custom action

Something like

You will need to sequence this custom action as well.

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>
