Dear all, I was using a customAction in the WiX 2 to open the readme file when the installation is finished. The code was:
<Property Id='expProp'>explorer</Property> <CustomAction ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]Third_Test_Folder\Readme.htm\Readme htm' Property='expProp' Return='asyncNoWait' Id='jPOJPyqG'/> Now, I'm modifying the Exit Dialog to show a Checkbox for "Show Readme On Exit". Note that I don't want to use the Optional CheckBox, because I don't like it's position. So, I modified the dialog. Somebody has said that I need to open the readme file with a ShelExecute element: <Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value= [INSTALLDIR]Third_Test_Folder\Readme.htm" /> <CustomAction Id="ShowReadmeFile" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" /> No it is working. But there is an issue. I am getting a warning like this: C:\WiX\CustomDialogs\Adding_Dlg\Test_InstaLler.wxs(84) : warning CNDL1077 : The 'WixShellExecTarget' Property contains '[INSTALLDIR]' in its value which is an illegal reference to another property. If this value is a string literal, not a property reference, please ignore this warning. To set a property with the value of another property, use a CustomAction with Property and Value attributes. Can anybody explain for me about what it means and what to do with it?
