Assuming I understand what you're doing, it won't work on Windows 7. The short story is that you are not impersonating, therefore you are trying to run something with the system account and have it show UI on the interactive user's desktop. I don't think you are allowed to do that in a UAC world. I'm surprised that a window belonging to the system account would show anywhere on the Windows 7 user's desktop, depending exactly what "in the background" means.
By default the custom action should be waiting for the exe to finish, but it's not unusual for some setup executables to start another process and exit, leaving you thinking the driver has been installed when the exe finishes. --------------- Phil Wilson On Wed, Jan 29, 2014 at 9:35 AM, Rob Mensching <r...@robmensching.com> wrote: > Actually, I find that multiple posting or posting without explaining what > you've already attempted to do showing that you've actually really tried to > figure out what is needed *decreases* the chance that anyone will respond. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Carter Young [mailto:ecyo...@grandecom.net] > Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2014 8:01 AM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action exe file run on background > > Try not to Double Post...
