Hi everyone, I am trying to make the "Finish" button of an exit diallog close any Interner Explorer window(s) that may be open. The following code works, but it display a command prompt window: <CustomAction Id="SetQtExecDeferred_TaskKillIExplore" Property="KillBrowser" Execute="immediate" Value=""C:\Windows\System32\TaskKill.exe" /F /IM IExplore.exe" /> <CustomAction Id="KillBrowser" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore" Impersonate="no"/> I would prefer to use a Quiet Execution Custom Action, and indeed the following code works when scheduling execution before "InstallFinalize" <CustomAction Id="SetQtExecDeferred_TaskKillIExplore" Property="QtExecDeferred_TaskKillIExplore" Execute="immediate" Value=""[SystemFolder]TaskKill.exe" /F /IM IExplore.exe" /> <CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferred_TaskKillIExplore" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="ignore" Impersonate="no"/> But I cannot get this to work if called by a "Do Action" of the Finish button in the exit dialog. I've tried many variants of syntax, even some that seem incorrect (in case my understanding of what is logical was wrong). The result I get is either a couple different types of error message, or a false success as reflected in the log extracts below. So I've started wondering whether a Quiet Execution Command Action can in fact be used after installation is complete i.e. by the Finish button of the exit dialog? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, this is the one issue that makes my installer look a but kludgy and I would love to avoid it (as would the couple thousand people who will used, yikes) Many thanks, SG (Log extracts) Action 16:59:32: ExitDialog_Install.
