Jacques, You were right, there was a typo. That seemed to fix that issue. Now I'm getting something new.
I moved the <Custom Action="StartNFTSListener" After="InstallFinalize" /> to a line just above the InstallFinalize code, but it doesn't recognize it. ICE77: StartNFTSListener is a in-script custom action. It must be sequenced in between the InstallInitialize action and the InstallFinalize action in the InstallExecuteSequence table D:\Documents and Settings\gzsrcg\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\NFTSSetupA\NFTSSetupA\main.wxs 3067 1 NFTSInstaller -----Original Message----- From: Jacques Eloff [mailto:repst...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 5:36 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Trying to execute an exe file duringoraftermyinstall Hi James I noticed a typo in one of my emails. I had NTFS somewhere, instead of NFTS. If you cut/paste from the emails, that might explain the error.
