I have not tested it, but maybe the problem is that deferred custom action to launch executable is asynchronous. Hard to say without seeing the code.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action with elevated privileges doesn't work If I'm reading this correctly you are trying to launch an exe (which the program installed) before InstallFinalize. I'm not sure if that will work. The recommended way is to launch at the very end using an immediate custom action. -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 10:27 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action with elevated privileges doesn't work You must still have a deferred custom action after InstallFinalize, that's what error 2762 is saying. Are you sure your system is clean? Is it possible that you're really just going into a repair mode and having an already-installed product run? Or it's an upgrade and the uninstall of the older product is running it?

I have three custom actions which I need to be executed. Two of them are in a 'dll' and don't require elevated privileges in Windows Vista and so I am executing them in Immediate mode. The third one is the main executable of our product, which I want to be run after the installation and with elevated privileges. So, to provide elevated privileges I need to specify Execute='deferred' and Impersonate='no'. So, I am doing just that. I am also scheduling the action before 'InstallFinalize'. On doing so, the product is getting installed correctly and also the executable is getting executed with elevated privileges. But, just before closing down, the MSI is generating an error 2762 which means the deferred custom action needs to be scheduled between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. But, I am doing just that and still its producing that error message. Please let me know what should I do to stop getting that error message. Thanks.
