After digging through the archives I've discovered others have had this
problem but no solution was found. Hopefully I'm not out of luck.
I have created an installer that allows the user to specify a directory to
install the application to. I also have a checkbox on my final dialog that
allows the user to start to launch the app. Typical install type stuff.
If the user installs the app to a directory OTHER than the default directory
the application will not launch at the end of the install. I've tried a
multiple work arounds with no luck. Below are pieces of my wix project that
I think are important. Running a verbose log returns little useful
information. Just that my custom action ends with a return value 1631.
<!--Install Directory-->
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Directory Id="MyAppDirectory" Name="MyAppD"
LongName="MyAppDirectory">
<Component Id="MainExecutable"
Guid="21334B69-B902-4910-AC4D-73337405DC70" DiskId="1">
<!--Main Executable-->
<File Id="MyAppExe" Name="MyApp.exe"
Source="MyApp.exe" Vital="yes"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<!--Custom Action Used to Launch the App After Installation-->
<CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" FileKey="MyAppExe" ExeCommand=""
Return="asyncNoWait" />
<!--Control In My Exit Dialog-->
<Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="no" Text="[Button_Finish]">
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="LaunchApplication">(NOT Installed) AND
(LAUNCHPRODUCT = 1)</Publish>
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish>
</Control>
