I'm trying to get several PDF's to open on the Finish button click on the featuretree.wxs. I can execute the same custom actions during the InstallExecute sequence, and they work fine.
But when I move them to DoAction events on the Finish button, the command prompt window opens then immediately closes, and no PDF's are opened. I can see the quotes around the filename, but the filename seems to be missing. Is this too late in the sequence to use the [#...] substitution? Any ideas? I've tried using ShellExecute CA's, but with the same result. <UI> <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="SettingsDialog">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Order="1" Event="DoAction" Value="DisplayDashboardPDF"><![CDATA[DISPLAYDASHBOARD = "1" AND NOT REMOVE]]></Publish> <Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Order="2" Event="DoAction" Value="DisplayCalendarPDF"><![CDATA[DISPLAYCALENDAR = "1" AND NOT REMOVE]]></Publish> <Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Order="3" Event="DoAction" Value="DisplayLibraryPDF"><![CDATA[DISPLAYLIBRARY = "1" AND NOT REMOVE]]></Publish> </UI> <CustomAction Id="DisplayLibraryPDF" Directory="COMMONDOCS" ExeCommand='"[SystemFolder]cmd.exe" /c "[#LibraryUserGuide.pdf]"' Execute="immediate" Impersonate="yes" Return="asyncNoWait"/> <CustomAction Id="DisplayCalendarPDF" Directory="CALENDARDOCS" ExeCommand='"[SystemFolder]cmd.exe" /c "[#CalendarUserGuide.pdf]"' Execute="immediate" Impersonate="yes" Return="asyncNoWait" /> <CustomAction Id="DisplayDashboardPDF" Directory="DASHBOARDDOCS" ExeCommand='"[SystemFolder]cmd.exe" /c "[#DashboardUserGuide.pdf]"' Execute="immediate" Impersonate="yes" Return="asyncNoWait" /> David Bartmess ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
