I think you need a custom action to perform wait till the copy operation is finished & then continue with other steps to follow, you can write these custom action as C++ DLL or VBScript (.vbs)

It may be happen that the thing I am going to ask is very easy. I am working on a installer of a product. Execution sequence of the installer should like this - 1. installer copies files to the designated directory(say c:\program files\productdir) 2. installer runs a script which modifies the files according to their current location on target machine. 3. start some windows services installed by installer itself. But windows services are trying to get started before the file copy operation. Because of this services are not able to start and installer throws an error. How may I correct the order of things in this case ? Any help regarding this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
