Re: [WiX-users] Adding a custom action (type 6) in a patchpackage(msp)

[Alexander Shevchuk]

Hello Paul,

I did quick experiment and if I add the "\" in front of the file name, like in 
your sample, I get an error message from light.exe (I am using WiX 2.0):

Light.exe : fatal error LGHT0005: The system cannot find the file specified ...
 Try:

<Binary Id="SimpleTest" SourceFile="Test.vbs"></Binary>

Instead of:

<Binary Id="SimpleTest" SourceFile="\Test.vbs"></Binary>

Hello, Alexander,

thanks for the fast reply, but unfortunately the binary element is not missing 
in our .wxs file.
Here is what our file looks like:
