Thanks for your reply Bob. I have added the execute tag to the custom action,
<CustomAction
Id="SampleExe"
FileKey="CsEXE"
ExeCommand=""
Execute="commit"
/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom
Action="SampleExe"
After="InstallFiles" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Now the program is started after the installation, but when I try and
uninstall the program it gives the following error: "...A program
required for this install to complete could not be run..." My guess is
that it is trying to execute the custom action after the uninstall as
well, and because the file has already been deleted by this stage it
fails. But in <Custom> I have set After="InstallFiles" so why is this
happening? Also, is it possible to use a custom action to close a
program before I uninstall it? Thanks.
