You probably want to use Execute="deferred" -- commit CAs don't run if the user or administrator has disabled rollback. > Now the program is started after the installation, but when I try and > uninstall the program it gives the following error: "...A program > required for this install to complete could not be run..."

You can use a condition to control when a CA runs; see "Examples of Conditional Statement Syntax" in the MSI SDK for examples. > Also, is it possible to use a custom action to close a > program before I uninstall it?

MSI will also prompt the user to close an application, if it's showing a window at the time (so "tray apps" don't count). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
