Bob, The answers to your questions are: Yes it does run from a command prompt. It does have some dependencies that are installed with it...they are all installing correctly. It is not dependent on a particular working folder. Just to muddy the waters a little, over the weekend I wrote a quick and dirty DLL that has a single method that launches my application. The path to the app is hard coded in the dll to be C:\testing\foo.exe. If I change the installation directory on install to match this value the application will launch!? I'm going to have to make the dll more dynamic so that it can find the installed executable and launch it. I've got to get this installer finished today but if you have any other ideas I'd love to here them. I've never run into this problem before?? Thanx for all you help!

The 1631 error is ERROR_CREATE_FAILED...The Windows Installer service failed to start... Sounds like MSI is try to start again...not start my app?? HMMM. |
