Hello everybody, I would greatly appreciate some help.

 

I am using wix v2 to create an installer, at the moment the installer checks 
for some prerqusite files using the registry and based on what is found takes 
the user to one of three new dialogs. At 2 of the dialogs I have a checkbox 
where the idea is that the user checks the box and hits the finish button to 
launch a .exe to run appropriate updates.

 

However I have never managed to successfully get the .exe to run. I tested the 
checkbox with opening Notepad like so:

 

<Property Id='NOTET'>Notepad.exe</Property>

<CustomAction Id='LaunchNet' Property='NOTET' ExeCommand='[TARGETDIR]\Program 
Files\Readme.txt' Return='asyncNoWait' />

 

<Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" 
Default="yes" Cancel="no" Text="!(loc.WixUIFinish)">

<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Exit">1</Publish>

</Control>

 

<Publish Dialog="nwnUpdate" Control="Finish" Order="1" Event="DoAction" 
Value="LaunchNet">LAUNCHNET = 1</Publish>

 

And everything worked correctly.

 

However when I try to change the custom action to launch the .exe nothing seems 
to happen, I currently have the following code but I have tried various 
approaches.

 

<Binary Id="Updater_EXE" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 
2\nwupdate.exe" />

<CustomAction Id='LaunchUpdate' BinaryKey="Updater_EXE" ExeCommand="" 
Return="asyncNoWait"/>

 

Just to be clear there is definately a nwupdate.exe in the folder specified 
above.

 

Can anyone advise me on where I am going wrong

 

Thanks very much in advance!
