Michael, As a guess... the /c switch argument "/c build\build-usual-image.bat" doesn't specify a fully qualified path and cmd.exe is probably having problems locating it.

I did try searching the documentation and the mailing list for help, but couldn't find any: I'm shipping a batch file with my .msi that I need to run with the /v:off flag to cmd.exe. This is what I have: <CustomAction Id="build_usual_image" Property="INSTALLDIR" ExeCommand='[SystemFolder]cmd.exe /v:off /c build\build-usual-image.bat "[INSTALLDIR]" "[INSTALLDIR]scheme" "[INSTALLDIR]scheme48.image" "[INSTALLDIR]scheme48vm.exe" "[INSTALLDIR]build\initial.image"' Return="check" /> The idea is to have the pwd be INSTALLDIR and then run cmd.exe as in the command line. However, all I ever get is this: MSI (s) (8C:38) [19:01:40:302]: Note: 1: 1721 2: build_usual_image 3: c:\Programme\Scheme 48\Scheme 48 1.4T\ 4: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /v:off /c build\build-usual-image.bat "c:\Programme\Scheme 48\Scheme 48 1.4T\" "c:\Programme\Scheme 48\Scheme 48 1.4T\scheme" "c:\Programme\Scheme 48\Scheme 48 1.4T\scheme48.image" "c:\Programme\Scheme 48\Scheme 48 1.4T\scheme48vm.exe" "c:\Programme\Scheme 48\Scheme 48 1.4T\build\initial.image" Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
