[WiX-users] Load file by PARAFFIN, custom action not run

[Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare)]

Hi Wix - users,
 
I use PARAFFIN.exe to generated .WXS file to include and update the
files. It is an excellent tool. See the link:

However, I have another problem. There is one file, which is included in
PARAFFIN generated .WXS file, like:
<File Id="file_E92584CFAEE24DFD8B1E8BFD27E2F079" Checksum="yes"
Source="MyPath\RUN.exe" />
 
I will use this file in my .WXS file as Custom Action:
<CustomAction Id="RUNInstall"
FileKey="file_E92584CFAEE24DFD8B1E8BFD27E2F079" ExeCommand="RUN.exe
-install -quiet" Return="asyncWait" />
 
Before, I included this RUN.exe manuelly in my .WXS file. And the
custion action always works. However, since I use PARAFFIN and still use
this RUN.exe, this custom action will not work some times. And there is
error message:
 
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 vender.
 
If I comment out the line of this file in PARAFFIN generated file, and
add it manuelly to my .WXS file, it works again, even I use the same
content as in PARAFFIN generated file.
 
It is really strange. Could you tell me how to resolve it?
 
Thanks again.
