First I tried following:
CustomAction Id=MyEXECA Property=[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe
ExeCommand= Return=ignore /
And next following:
Property Id=PROP_MYEXE Value=[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe /
CustomAction Id=MyEXECA Property=PROP_MYEXE ExeCommand=
Return=ignore /
In both cases installation passed to the end without error messages but
also without any mentioning about required custom action. And only in
log I found info about my CA:
Info 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact
your support personnel or package vendor. Action: InstDCOM2, location:
[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe, command:
and:
Property(S): PROP_MYEXE = [SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe
So why MSI installer does not resolve properties [SourceDir] and
[REDIST_DIR] in to their values?
I finally achieve required CA after using property MYEXEEXISTS that get
from:
Property Id=MYEXEEXISTS
DirectorySearch Id=MYREDISTDIR Path=[SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]
Depth=0
FileSearch Id=MYEXEFILESEARCH Name=my.exe /
/DirectorySearch
/Property

Hello.
I need to run external stand-alone exe-file that is not part of the
installation package and is not included into Binary table.
Does anybody can explain how to create such custom action using WiX?
I tried following:
CustomAction Id=ExeFile
ExeCommand=[SourceDir][ExeFilePATH]\Myprogram.exe Return=ignore /
You need to use Property=[path][to]program.exe and ExeCommand=command
line arguments.
Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
