Hi William, The ID in that custom action is just a name to identify it. In this case LaunchFile was used to make it very clear what it was doing. You could name it whatever you want to make it clearer for yourself. To further answer your question it is not a predefined custom action, but rather it is simply a custom action that is told to start a program and let it run. It is not aware what this program does, nor does it care. I hope this helps to clear things up for you.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] LaunchFile is a standard custom action? Hi Palbinder, Thanks for the info, I noticed that article before. That one is easy to understand. my question is, from this tutorial: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php following solution also works, as I verified: <*CustomAction* Id='LaunchFile' FileKey='FoobarEXE' ExeCommand='' Return='asyncNoWait' /> but I don't know how. Is this LaunchFile CA is windows installer predefined CA? thanks, William L.
