You should not be referencing a custom action from a merge module in a main installation.  Who wrote the custom action?  If its yours then you should use wixlib files instead of merge modules.  If its not yours, whoever did write it should have made it a table-driven custom action.

Subject: [WiX-users] Calling custom actions in Merge Modules

 

Hi

 

I have a merge module that I created including all the files for a product, including the exe.

 

I now want to launch that exe at the end of my main wix project. I have tried using a custom action which was created in the merge module as below

 

<Publish Event='DoAction' Value="LaunchFile.8757FF80_A4ED_45C0_8672_55821E0CB48F">(NOT Installed) AND (LAUNCHPRODUCT = 1)</Publish>

 

But light complains about not knowing what this reference is. I have added this by hand using Orca and it works so how can I get Wix to understand it.

 

Cheers

 

Stuart Cullen
