I'm not sure if you ever got this figured out. If not, can you show us the
markup for the custom action?

[WiX-users] Executing a Batch File during Install

2011-07-13 Thread KrisWIX
I'm trying to execute a batch file (.bat) that is copied into a predefined
location during install. I have the FileKey for the batch file generated by
heat.exe. I do not need to pass any parameters to this bat file which
contains VBScript code. The important point is that if I just manually
execute the bat file (double click) after completing the installation, it
works fine. But when I use WIX CustomAction to execute it, it fails. I do
not mean the VBScript within fails but the installer itself fails. I'm
certain this is not because of the CustomAction Sceduling because the bat
file is present in the predefined location by the time the customaction is
invoked by the installer. I have tried various methods like FileKey, WIX
QuietCustomAction, ExeCommand, VBScriptCall and so on.. Nothing have worked
so far. Was wondering if anyone here could help me.

Note: The .bat file is copied to the Install Directory and NOT the System32
folder

Thanks,
VN
