If you check out the @Return attribute of the Custom Action element there is an asyncNoWait type.
Indicates that the custom action will run asynchronously and execution may continue after the installer terminates. -----Original Message----- From: phillip_sid...@dellteam.com [mailto:phillip_sid...@dellteam.com] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 10:57 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Asynch install process Is there a way with WiX to initiate a child process at/near the end of an installation that does not wait for child process to return before existing the install. Specifically I want to call the aspnet_compiler to JIT some websites but I don't want the installer to wait 60-90 sec for this process to complete.
