How are you getting CheckCPU.exe onto the target system? You may want to change your Custom Action to a Type 2 rather than a Type 50 as it appears you're trying to do if your supplying the CheckCPU.exe application inside your package. Custom Action types are listed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372048.aspx

The Problem is even though i set the Sequence of the Custom Action at "Before = 'AppSearch' the msi checks first which .txt is created and then runs the .exe so it dont finds any .txt-file and installs the wrong files. here are some Code-Snippets: <CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' Property='CPUCHECKFILE' ExeCommand='' Return='asyncWait' /> ..... <Property Id='CPUCHECKFILE'> <DirectorySearch Path='[CURRENTDIRECTORY]' Depth='0' Id='Current'> <FileSearch Id='CPU' Name='CheckCPU.exe'/> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="STANDARD"> <DirectorySearch Id="Standard" Path='[PersonalFolder]' Depth="0"> <FileSearch Id="CheckFileStandard" Name="Standard.txt" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="SSE2"> <DirectorySearch Id="Sse2" Path='[PersonalFolder]' Depth="0"> <FileSearch Id="CheckFileSse2" Name="SSE2.txt" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="SSE3"> <DirectorySearch Id="Sse3" Path='[PersonalFolder]' Depth="0"> <FileSearch Id="CheckFileSse3" Name="SSE3.txt" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="SSSE3"> <DirectorySearch Id="Ssse3" Path='[PersonalFolder]' Depth="0"> <FileSearch Id="CheckFileSsse3" Name="SSSE3.txt" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="SSSE3A"> <DirectorySearch Id="Ssse3a" Path='[PersonalFolder]' Depth="0"> <FileSearch Id="CheckFileSsse3a" Name="SSSE3Atom.txt" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Property Id="SSE4"> <DirectorySearch Id="Sse4" Path='[PersonalFolder]' Depth="0"> <FileSearch Id="CheckFileSse4" Name="SSE4.txt" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='SystemFolder' Name='INSTALLDIR'> <Component Id="MainDlls" Guid="85180B23-7B34-4D3F-962B-27E2CD70C6ED" > ... </Component> </Directory> </Directory> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='LaunchFile' Before='AppSearch'>NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <Feature Id='Core' Level='1' > <ComponentRef Id='MainDlls' /> </Feature> <Feature Id='Unknown' Level ='1'> <ComponentRef Id='Standard' /> <Condition Level='0'>NOT STANDARD</Condition> </Feature> <Feature Id='SSE2' Level ='1'> <ComponentRef Id='SSE2' /> <Condition Level='0'>NOT SSE2</Condition> </Feature> <Feature Id='SSE3' Level ='1'> <ComponentRef Id='SSE3' /> <Condition Level='0'>NOT SSE3</Condition> </Feature> <Feature Id='SSSE3' Level ='1'> <ComponentRef Id='SSSE3' /> <Condition Level='0'>NOT SSSE3</Condition> </Feature> <Feature Id='SSSE3Atom' Level ='1'> <ComponentRef Id='SSSE3A' /> <Condition Level='0'>NOT SSSE3Atom</Condition> </Feature> <Feature Id='SSE4' Level ='1'> <ComponentRef Id='SSE4' /> <Condition Level='0'>NOT SSE4</Condition> </Feature> Has anyone a guess why the Installer checks first the files and then runs the .exe?
