You should probably use CAQuietExec rather than ExeCommand, that way the cmd window doesn't pop-up during installation. This is how I run batch commands in my installer: You would have to call 2 custom actions though in the control element. --Pavan -Original Message- From: wixard

Thanks Pavan. "Execute" is set to "immediate" if not specified. I explicitly set it to "immediate". Still get the same error. Setting to "deferred" generates the error: DEBUG: Error 2762: Unable to schedule operation. The action must be scheduled between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize.

Have you verified that your XSLT is performing its job properly? If it's setting the permanent attribute on every harvested component this would obviously be the problem. How are the registry entries a requirement? If you are installing a 32bit application it can't see the 64-bit registry hive, s

Scott, Is your product using conditional Features? One way that components can get "orphaned" is if they belong to a Feature whose Level is 0 at time of uninstall. Usually this happens when the intent is to install the feature only if a certain prerequisite software is present, and if the prereq

Uma, First of all, I don't think you can insert XML before a given node using XmlConfig; you can only append a new child to a given parent node. (http://stackoverflow.com/q/8224918) Also, there are two nodes that match your XPath expression, and XmlConfig only uses the first match. Since you kno

Don't "shell out" to a custom application for settings. If the settings are required for installation then gather them in a standard MSI UI or write your own BA and pass them to the MSI as properties. Regardless of the method used, you need to remember that silent installations will have no UI,
