If you allow users to browse to a different install folder, that changed path usually applies to the ProgramFiles folders, so beware of changed locations. A path to the exe based on [#file key] is more reliable because it works wherever the file is installed.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Launching Exe at end of Installation... Ok I think I found the issue. The ExeCommand is wrong, it should actually be... <CustomAction Id="CA_LaunchLicenceManager" Directory="ProgramFilesFolder" ExeCommand="[ProgramFilesFolder]LicenceManager\MyLicenceManager.exe " Return="ignore" /> Damn paths. That then works as advertised.

Subject: [WiX-users] Launching Exe at end of Installation... Hi all, I have the following Custom Action, based on reading the docs... <CustomAction Id="CA_LaunchLicenceManager" Directory="ProgramFilesFolder" ExeCommand="[ProgramFiles64Folder]\LicenceManager\MyLicenceManager.exe " Return="ignore" /> And it is supposed to be called here... <InstallExecuteSequence> <!-- Things to do during install --> <Custom Action="CA_LaunchLicenceManager" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> But the CA_LaunchLicenceManager never seems to be called, so the exe never starts. Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks, DOMINIQUE LOUIS ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
