Hi Jim
So all three elements have the same parent (product/fragment)? Your source
should look something like this (Just want to make sure I understand where
you're at right now). If you're using <Binary>, make the ExeCommand
attribute an empty string and add the BinaryKey attribute like the example
below.
<Binary Id="NFTS30Listner.exe"
src="D:\Projects\NFTS\Src\apps\nfts\binaries\NFTS30Listener.exe"/>
<CustomAction Id="Start_NFTS_Listener"
Return="asyncNoWait"
HideTarget="no"
Execute="deferred"
Impersonate="no"
TerminalServerAware="no"
ExeCommand=""
BinaryKey="NFTS30Listner.exe"
FileKey="NFTS30Listener">
</CustomAction>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='Start_NTFS_Listener' Before='InstallFinalize'/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
As for your earlier question. The only time order really matters is when you
might have multiple CAs that depend on one another. You can specify the
order of custom actions using attributes such as Before inside your <Custom>
element. For example, let say you have two CAs, Foo and Bar, then you can do
the following:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='Foo' Before='Bar'/>
<Custom Action='Bar' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
If you are using WiX 3, you should use SourceFile in your code since the src
attribute for Binary has been deprecated if I recall correctly.
