Hi,
I am also seeing similar problem. When I run powershell script from CA using CAQuietExec, the installer hangs. If I run the powershell script from ExeCommand in custom Action, a console window pops up and completes the script execution. This however leaves a powershell.exe process running in the task manager. I am looking for a solution that does not show dos window in executing Custom Action using CAQuietExec. Another problem I noticed which is quite unrelated to the above is the account under which a custom Action runs. I noticed in TaskManager that a deferred custom action in the <InstallExecuteSequence> that is sequenced to run after "InstallFiles" and listed first amongst all other CAs runs under the user account of user logged into the machine(Administrator in my case). If I put the same CA later in the sequence, it runs under the SYSTEM account. I apologize for lack of knowledge on accounts running the CAs, but can someone share thoughts on why the user accounts are different when placed at different sequence of execution or give pointers on best place to lookup for more info. Thanks ! thanks. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Silently-executing-a-PowerShell-script-from-WiX-Hangs-PowerShell-tp5722723p5780635.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
