Hi Rob,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the verbose log. And I found that the problem might not be caused by
the PARAFFIN. The log shows that custom action tries to call RUN.exe from the
path, which I set as default path, say d:\PathA, in main.wxs:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Name="PathA">
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="APPLICATIONFOLDER" />
And this default path will be shown in InstallDirDlg. User can change it, say
PathB and install. All the files will be copied to d:\PathB, including RUN.exe.
However custom action still tries to call RUN.exe from PathA. Therefore, I
modified InstallDirDlg.wxs, and add
<Publish Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]">1</Publish>
To Control "Next".
The problem is resolved.
Regards,
Chunyan

I don't use Paraffin but have you verified that the File/@Id value is staying
constant from run to run? If it is check out a verbose log file from a failed
install to get more information about what failed.
