Hi Rob,
I tried removing that but it lloks like things are more fundamental than I
first thought. I've changed the script that runs to simply generate a file
when run (not relying on any parameters). When I run it from command line it
works fine. When I run from the msi nothing appears to happen, i.e. the file
is not created.
Looking at the log file generated it looks liek some sort of error occured
at the end
MSI (c) (10:0C) [11:36:16:068]: Note: 1: 1707
MSI (c) (10:0C) [11:36:16:068]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Error
MSI (c) (10:0C) [11:36:16:068]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3: Error 4: SELECT
`Message` FROM `Error` WHERE `Error` = 1707

MSI (c) (10:0C) [11:36:16:068]: Product: SwapComm -- Installation completed

Have enclosed the full log file to see if it is of any use.
Cheers
