It seems add-ins are more "user-controlled" so apparently the DevEnv folks didn't anticipate needing a 'devenv /setup' equivalent. You can try using CAQuietExec (see "Quiet Execution Custom Action" in WiX.chm) to run devenv.exe from a hidden window. However, if I were the betting type, I'd give it 50/50 odds that DevEnv will respect being started for an interactive session from a hidden window. Maybe less.<g> -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
