That is not correct. -----Original Message----- From: Eitan Behar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 21:05 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - start exe inside my INSTALLDIR
Why don't you include the EXE and the DLL as well in the Binary table ? If your file is only needed for maintenance (install, repair, uninstall), then do not deploy it. If I remember correctly, all files in the Binary table are extracted to the same folder during (un)installation. -----Original Message----- From: Love88Keys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 12:54 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - start exe inside my INSTALLDIR Well, I think I didn´t point my problem exactly. I´ve got an EXE which ist only needed during install, uninstall or modify process. My first idea was -of course- to do a CustomAction with BinaryKey. But : 1. the EXE requires a dll and I don´t know how to refer to that. 2. I´m not shure if my EXE is still available if the Setup.msi is removed from the system. So I decided to install the EXE plus dll and use FileKey. Works good, but on uninstall nothing happens or - other case - the compiler shows me an error "Unresolved reference". Just depending on when I set the CA Before='LaunchCondition' or After='InstallFinalize' or something between but I didn´t check everything out.
