Custom Action scheduled after InstallFinalize do work. I have one that
invokes DLL exported function and, using __asm { int 3 } in my CA C++
code I get JIT debugger started.I think your problem may be that you are expecting the action to start the executable, while your action is just assigning one property value to another, even if that happens to be a path tp executable file. An example of Custom Action that runs executable can be found in, IMO, excellent Alex's blog WiX series: http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/21/from-msi-to-wix-par t-5-custom-actions.aspx -----Original Message----- From: bryan rasmussen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 1:17 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] customAction running after Installfinalize not working Here is the code: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'> <Product Id='12345678-1234-1234-1234-098765432114' Name='Software Innovation GrowBusiness AutoPilot' Language='1033' Version='1.0.0.0' Manufacturer='Software Innovation'> <Package Id='12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789015' Description='Sample AutoPilot installation package' Comments='First example of AutoPilot installation' InstallerVersion='200' Compressed='yes' /> <Media Id='1' Cabinet='product.cab' EmbedCab='yes' /> <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='SIDir' Name='SI' LongName='SoftwareInnovation'> <Directory Id='AUTOPILOT' Name='autop' LongName='AutoPilot'> <Component Id='hotkeyfiles' Guid='12345678-1234-1234-1234-098765432114'> <File Id='AutoPilot' LongName='AutoPilot.exe' Name="autopilo" DiskId='1' Vital="yes" src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\AutoPilot.exe' /> <File Id='gbsicon' Name='gbslogo.ico' DiskId='1' Vital="yes" src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\gbslogo.ico' /> <File Id='hotkeys1' LongName='General Soegning' Name="GenSoeg" DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\General Soegning' /> <File Id='hotkeys2' Name="NyKor" LongName='Ny KorrespondanceDokument' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Ny KorrespondanceDokument' /> <File Id='hotkeys3' Name="OpNyAkt" LongName='Opret Ny Aktivitet' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Opret Ny Aktivitet' /> <File Id='hotkeys4' Name="OpNyKon" LongName='Opret Ny Kontakt' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Opret Ny Kontakt' /> <File Id='hotkeys5' Name="OpNyVi" LongName='Opret Ny Virksomhed' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Opret Ny Virksomhed' /> <File Id='hotkeys6' Name="SkrAdm" LongName='Skrivebord Administration' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Skrivebord Administration' /> <File Id='hotkeys7' Name="SoegKon" LongName='Soeg KontaktPerson' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg KontaktPerson' /> <File Id='hotkeys8' Name="SoegKor" LongName='Soeg Korrespondance' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg Korrespondance' /> <File Id='hotkeys10' Name="help" LongName='Hjaelp' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Hjaelp' /> <File Id='hotkeys9' Name="SoegVi" LongName='Soeg Virksomhed' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg Virksomhed' /> <File Id='hotkeys11' Name="SoegD" LongName='Soeg Dokument' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg Dokument' /> <File Id='graphic1' Name="backg.jpg" LongName='background_ap_gui.jpg' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\background_ap_gui.jpg ' /> <File Id='graphic2' Name="footer" LongName='footer_ap_gui.jpg' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\footer_ap_gui.jpg' /> <File Id='graphic3' Name="header" LongName='header_ap_gui.jpg' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\header_ap_gui.jpg' /> <File Id='programconfig' Name='keys.ini' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\keys.ini' /> <File Id='size1' Name="1680X1" LongName='1680X1050' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1680X1050' /> <File Id='size2' Name="1400X1" LongName='1400X1050' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1400X1050' /> <File Id='size3' Name="1280X1" LongName='1280X1024' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1280X1024' /> <File Id='size4' Name="1280X7" LongName='1280X768' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1280X768' /> <Registry Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" KeyPath="yes" Action="write" Name="SIAutoPilot" Value="[AUTOPILOT]AutoPilot.exe" Type="string" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id='hotkeys_step1' Title='GrowBusiness Hotkeys 1.0' Description='Installation package' Display='expand' Level='1' ConfigurableDirectory='AUTOPILOT'> <Feature Id='MainProgram' Title='Program' Description='The main executable.'
