Thx Matt, that did the trick, but i hit another snag on the same issue. When
i install to a user specific destination, the QtExecute action works, but
when i do an install for all users i get an Access Denied message when the
QtExecute is performed. I presume the reason for this is that uninstall.exe
is then located under c:\Program Files\Appname and the UAC does not allow a
Standard User to delete from there? Iv'e looked around a bit and it is
suggested to do a deferred execute with Impersonate set to no. Iv'e tried
that :
<Property Id="QtExecDeferred" Value='"[SystemFolder]\Cmd.exe" /C del /Q
"[APPLICATIONFOLDER]\uninstall.exe"'/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferred" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="ignore" Impersonate="no"/>
But i get the following error:
Action 16:03:22: QtExecDeferred.
MSI (s) (D4:40) [16:03:22:362]: Executing op:
CustomActionSchedule(Action=QtExecDeferred,ActionType=3137,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="[SystemFolder]\Cmd.exe"
/C del /Q "[APPLICATIONFOLDER]\uninstall.exe")

CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070002: Command failed to execute.
CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070002: CAQuietExec Failed
Iv'e searched around a bit and it seems that HResult 0x80070002 means that
the file could not be found. I'm guessing that maybe [APPLICATIONFOLDER] can
not be resolved when doing a deferred execution?
Any advice would again be much appreciated!
