Hi all, Iv'e got the following problem:
On the uninstall of my application I call an external wrapper (uninstall.exe, basically an nsis script that asks the user if they want to uninstall custom user data created during the product's life span or not). This works and if the user choses to delete the custom user data, the uninstall.exe wrapper runs first deleting the custom user data and the WiX cleans up the rest. The only problem is that the uninstall.exe wrapper gets left in the application directory and i don't know how to get rid of it... Iv'e tried using QtExecCmdLine to remove it via the command line, like so: <Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value='"[SystemFolder]\Cmd.exe" del "[APPLICATIONFOLDER]\uninstall.exe"'/> <CustomAction Id="QtExecute" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> <Custom Action="QtExecute" After="InstallFinalize"/> But during the Uninstall when the Qt Custom Action runs, the command line gets stuck on the command and i have to manually close the command line(running in the background) with a program like Windows Defenders Software Explorer. No error is being reported by the Verbose Debugger. MSI (s) (F8:1C) [14:12:14:753]: Doing action: QtExecute MSI (s) (F8:1C) [14:12:14:753]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText Action 14:12:14: QtExecute.
