This works for us:
<CustomAction
Id="SetLoadDB"
Property="LoadDB"
Value=""[#JAMSDBAEXE]" LOAD/UI=[UILevel]"/>
<CustomAction
Id="LoadDB"
BinaryKey="wixca"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred"
Impersonate="yes"
Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="wixca"
SourceFile="..\ExternalReferences\wixca.dll"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetLoadDB"
After="InstallFiles" />
<Custom Action="LoadDB"
After="StartServices"><![CDATA[REMOVE<>"ALL"]]></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Still My catsign.exe is not executed. I tried
(SourceFile=c:\windows\system32\catsign.exe ) also
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='Launchfile' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id ="Launchfile" Return="check" FileKey="catsign.exe"
ExeCommand="" />
<CustomAction Id="LaunchFile" BinaryKey="wixca" DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred"
Impersonate="yes"
Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="wixca"
SourceFile="catsign.exe"/>

What's missing is:
<CustomAction
Id="LaunchFile"
BinaryKey="wixca"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred"
Impersonate="yes"
Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="wixca"
SourceFile="..\ExternalReferences\wixca.dll"/>
And the scheduling of that CA.

Thanks for the quick help..
I tried this approach of using FileKey and doesn't work. Do I need the
second step even if I am using execommand ??
Whats missing here
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='LaunchFile' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
< CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' return='check' FileKey='foo.exe'
ExeCommand='' / >

It's a two step process, you have to set the property with the command
you want to execute and then you have to execute the command. Your
custom action sets the property. I'm not sure if the [SourceDir]
reference will work or not, you can just use the file ID with a #, like
this:
<CustomAction
Id="SetLoadDB"
Property="LoadDB"
Value=""[#JAMSDBAEXE]" LOAD/UI=[UILevel]"/>
After that, you need to execute the command like this:
<CustomAction
Id="LoadDB"
BinaryKey="wixca"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred"
Impersonate="yes"
Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="wixca"
SourceFile="..\ExternalReferences\wixca.dll"/>

I am using WIX 2.0. I am trying to call an executable as part of my
install. The EXE file is one of the installed files.
But after the install , the EXE is never getting executed. Any pointers
??
My code snippet looks like
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='LaunchFile' After='InstallFiles'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id ="LaunchFile" Property="QtExecCmdLine"
Value='"[Sourcedir]foo.exe"' Return="check" />
**I tried InstallFinalize , still doesn't work
Thanks
Harini
