No problem.
You may not have meant it the way you wrote it... but I don't agree with the
concept of InstallShield making dark throw exceptions. That is all dark's
doing.

st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } Thanks for the help and
example snippet Chris, the explanation makes perfect sense and works like a
charm. I tried going the dark route, but our IS generated MSI files make dark
throw exceptions.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Running an executable in the binary table
A type 3074 is just a Type 2 EXE CA stored in the binary table with the
msidbCustomActionTypeInScript + msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate attributes
set. This means it's a deferred CA that runs as System Context and must be
sequenced between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize.
You could dark an InstallShield built MSI to get some XML to look at or you
could dig through sparse schema documentation or you could use a tool like
WiXAware to help you out. That's what I did ( I'm sorry... I'm a pretty smart
guy but life is too short to be writing installs using a text editor IMO ). A
sample CA snippet would look like:
<Binary Id="Notepad.exe" SourceFile="C:\windows\notepad.exe">
</Binary>
<CustomAction Id="CustomAction1" Return="check" HideTarget="no"
Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" TerminalServerAware="no" ExeCommand=""
BinaryKey="Notepad.exe">
</CustomAction>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CustomAction1" After="InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Hello,
Im trying to convert an existing Installshield project to Wix 3.0. Im
having trouble getting my head around recreating a custom action. The IS
project runs an executable in the binary table as a type 3074 custom action, is
there an equivalent in WIX?
Thanks.
