Hello John, Thanks for the reply.
I did as you suggested but still I faced the same problem. I used DirectorySearch for getting the absolute path to the appcmd.exe. But I have one more property which is app pool name which will be taken as input from the user. <Property Id="CONFIGUREINTEGRATEDAPPPOOLSCMD"> <DirectorySearch Id="AppCmdContainer" Path='[SystemFolder]inetsrv' Depth='0'> <FileSearch Id='AppCmdFile' Name='appcmd.exe'/> </DirectorySearch> </Property> This gets me full path to appcmd.exe but still I need to write a custom action which updates the property being passed to CAQuietExec, with updated Application Pool name. Can you share an example code...
