You can't have the Property and Value attributes in the executing call. You need to separate them per the example in the Wix.chm (look under "Standard Custom Actions):
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value="command line to run"/> <CustomAction Id="QtExecExample" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> . . . <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="QtExecExample" After="TheActionYouWantItAfter"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> You can use an appropriately scheduled <SetProperty> element instead of the static <Property> element above. Note that an immediate call is only appropriate if the the executable call is not changing the state of the machine. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Marek Mielcarek [mailto:mmielca...@actuate.com] Sent: Friday, January 3, 2014 1:20 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] multiple immediate Quiet Execution custom actions I need to invoke Quiet Execution Custom Action multiple times in the immediate sequence. There is a web help<http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/customactions/qtexec.html> content available but no examples. I tried this: <CustomAction Id="CA_QtExec1" Property="QtExecCmdLine" Value="some command line" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore"/> <CustomAction Id="CA_QtExec2" Property="QtExecCmdLine" Value="another command line" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore"/> WiX compiler fails with "The CustomAction/@DllEntry attribute cannot coexist with a previously specified attribute on this element. The CustomAction element may only have one of the following target attributes specified at a time: DllEntry, Error, ExeCommand, JScriptCall, Script, Value, or VBScriptCall." I am obviously missing something. Can someone please provide the right way of getting this working ? Thanks a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
