Can you not do the same thing with a SqlScript element from the Sql Extension 
and eliminate the need for the Exe all together?

Subject: [WiX-users] MBA - Run an app as part of an ExePackage?

Greetings,

I have an exe that needs to run at the end of installation.  The exe itself is 
just an app that runs and enters information into a databse which was installed 
as a part of an earlier MSI in my bundle.  This exe is NOT installed anywhere 
on disk.

My question is, can I use the ExePackage tag for something like this?  Or is 
the ExePackage only for installation packages created as exe files?  If not, 
what would be the best way of running this tool?  Would this tool need to be 
copied over to temp and run from there?  How would one go about doing this?

Thanks,

Robert
