I think your execute sequence needs to be something like:
<Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices1"
After="CostFinalize">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="RunQtExecCommand1"
After="UpgradeStopServices1">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices2"
After="RunQtExecCommand1">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="RunQtExecCommand2"
After="UpgradeStopServices2">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices3"
After="RunQtExecCommand2">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="RunQtExecCommand3"
After="UpgradeStopServices3">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>

Hi Neil,
Thank you for your suggestion. I added another custom action as David Watson
suggested. It works fine. However, I want to define more than one such custom
action to perform calling executable quietly.
I defined them as:
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value="unset"/>
<CustomAction Id="RunQtExecCommand" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore"/>
<CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices1' Property='QtExecCmdLine'
Value='"[APPLICATIONFOLDER]VPCommon\tao_imr.exe" -ORBInitRef
ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]VPCommon\Locator.ior shutdown
VPWEBSERVER'/>
<CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices2' Property='QtExecCmdLine'
Value='"[APPLICATIONFOLDER]VPCommon\tao_imr.exe" -ORBInitRef
ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]VPCommon\Locator.ior shutdown
VPARCHIVESERVER_[ComputerName]'/>
<CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices3' Property='QtExecCmdLine'
Value='"[APPLICATIONFOLDER]VPCommon\tao_imr.exe" -ORBInitRef
ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]VPCommon\Locator.ior shutdown
VPDICOMSERVER_[ComputerName]'/>
And in the Execute Sequence:
<Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices1"
Before="RunQtExecCommand">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices2"
Before="RunQtExecCommand">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices3"
Before="RunQtExecCommand">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action="RunQtExecCommand"
After="CostFinalize">PREVIOUSFOUND</Custom>
I would like to add RunQtExecCommand CA after every needed custom actions. But
the compiler says "duplicated custom action". So I only add RunQtExecCommand
after the last one "UpgradeStopServices3". When I run the .msi, only the last
one executed. The other two CA didn't work.
How to resolve this problem?
Regards,
Chunyan

You can't set the Property element to a formatted value ([APPLICATIONFOLDER] in
your case) you either need another custom action to set it or I think you can
use SetProperty if you arrange for your CustomAction/@Id value to match.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to start an executable without showing command line
window
Hi Wix-users,
I want to call one executable in custom action. But I don't like the command
line window flashing when calling executable. So I tried to use CAQuietExec. My
code is as below:
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value="'tao_imr.exe' -ORBInitRef
ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]/VPCommon/Locator.ior shutdown
VPWEBSERVER"/>
<CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices1' BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return='ignore' />
However, when I run the .msi, the custom action doesn't work. In the
installation log file, I found:
MSI (s) (BC:98) [17:09:50:140]: Doing action: UpgradeStopServices1 Action
17:09:50: UpgradeStopServices1.
Action start 17:09:50: UpgradeStopServices1.
MSI (s) (BC:00) [17:09:50:155]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI80C.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec MSI (s) (BC:50)
[17:09:50:155]: Generating random cookie.
MSI (s) (BC:50) [17:09:50:171]: Created Custom Action Server with PID 5520
(0x1590).
MSI (s) (BC:B4) [17:09:50:296]: Running as a service.
MSI (s) (BC:B4) [17:09:50:296]: Hello, I'm your 32bit Impersonated custom
action server.
MSI (s) (BC!D0) [17:09:50:311]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting QtExecCmdLine
property. Its current value is ''tao_imr.exe' -ORBInitRef
ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]/VPCommon/Locator.ior shutdown
VPWEBSERVER'.
CAQuietExec: Command string must begin with quoted application name.
CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070057: invalid command line property value
CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070057: failed to get Command Line Action ended
17:09:50: UpgradeStopServices1. Return value 1.
There are errors for CAQuietExec. What's wrong with the property value?
If I set the custom action as normal:
<CustomAction Id='UpgradeStopServices1' FileKey='tao_imr.exe'
ExeCommand='tao_imr.exe -ORBInitRef
ImplRepoService=file://[APPLICATIONFOLDER]/VPCommon/Locator.ior shutdown
VPWEBSERVER' Execute="immediate" Return='ignore' />
Then everything works fine, except the command line window flashing.
Could some one help me how to resolve this problem?
Best regards,
Chunyan
