The problem is that the value in the registry isn't just the browser path, but has other argument information as well. For example, mine is C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1" so on my machine your custom action would try to run C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1" www.live.com
If you want to use the default browser, then I'd suggest looking at the Quiet Execution CustomAction, as I believe this can run shell commands. It's in the WiX chm under WiX Help -> Authoring -> WiX Standard CustomAction -> Quiet Execution CustomAction. You could use this and maybe just get it to run www.live.com as a command, which would launch the browser. If that fails, then the path to Internet Explorer without any additional argument information can be found here: Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\IEXPLORE.EXE" Rob Leila Lali (Excell Data Corporation) wrote: > Hi, > > > > I was trying to launch a browser and I’ve used these codes: > > > > <**Property** Id="BROWSER"> > > <**RegistrySearch** Id='DefaultBrowser' Type='raw' > > Root='HKCR' Key='http\shell\open\command' /> > > </**Property**> > > > > <**CustomAction** Id='LaunchBrowser' Property='BROWSER' > ExeCommand='www.live.com' Return='asyncNoWait' /> > > > > <**InstallExecuteSequence**> > > <**Custom** Action='LaunchBrowser' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT > Installed</**Custom**> > > </**InstallExecuteSequence**> > > > > > > But it doesn’t do anything.
