I have created an executable that hunts out any running instances of

problem is it is a command line
application itself, and when it runs it causes windows to toss up a
command line window. I could
run it using the QtExecCmdLine and wixca except for one thing. Like I
wrote earlier, this has
to run BEFORE the copy files step so that msiexec doesn't think it
needs to reboot. I have been
unable to find a way to execute (using the QtExecCmdLine and wixca)
something that hasn't
been copied yet. If I didn't need to prevent that command line window
from popping up, I could
run it directly using a binary key and running it from inside the msi
file itself (did that while
developing the package for another exe helper).
The Question: Is there a way to execute this program (it has NO
command line parameters)
absolutely silently (no command line window popping up), PRIOR to the
files being coppied
to the target directories?
The easiest is to turn your .exe into a .dll that doesn't show UI. You
can call a native-code DLL straight from the Binary table.
