Excuse my stupidity. I want to install and then run a perl script passing a parameter to it but what I have written nothing appears to happen.
I know if i run the script from the command line and pass a parameter it does what I want i.e. first.pl install but then I put in in the wix script it does not appear to work. Could someone point out what I have done wrong. <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='Acme' Name='Acme'> <Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Foobar10' LongName='Foobar 1.0'> <Component Id='MainExecutable' Guid='{1DF29E50-1A88-410b-945E-251DA8309C96}'> <File Id='first' Name='first.pl' DiskId='1' Source='first.pl' Vital='yes'> </File> <RemoveFolder Id='ProgramMenuDir' On='uninstall' /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'> <ComponentRef Id='MainExecutable' /> </Feature> <CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' FileKey='first' ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]first.pl install' Return='asyncNoWait' /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='LaunchFile' After='InstallFinalize'></Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/run-a-script-passing-a-parameter-tf3272181.html#a9098065 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
