Hi Jim, I have already tried "deferred" but even that seems to fail. This batch file basically tries to register the COM components on the target machine. So, I want the batch file to run after the installer script has run, i.e after creating the installer, this script has to run to register the components. May be what I am trying to do, is not even possible.
Please suggest.

This will run the custom action after InstallFinalize when the install script is run. Immediate causes it to be run when it is encountered when creating the installation script. <CustomAction Id='InvokeRegister' Property='CommandProcessorPath' ExeCommand='"[InstallDir]\Register.bat" "[InstallDir]\Drivers" Release x64' Execute='deferred' Impersonate='no' Return='check' /> Jim Williams -----Original Message----- From: Kapoor, Anupama [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 8:42 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] invoking batch file inside wxs file Hi, I am trying to invoke a batch file from my foo.wxs, which I want it to "run" after my installer has been installed.
