[WiX-users] Running Third Party Installer as a part of installation

[Vasu Chakkera]

Dear All,
I am new to WIX and trying certain things.. I have successfully finished
writing an installer that does most of the things..
I now have a situation where as a part of installation , i need to check the
presence of MathPlayer.exe  in the system, and if it doesnt exist, then i
need to install the Mathplayer.exe

i also have another  H2Reg.exe  that i need to run anyway everytime with - u
command while installing
and the same exe should be run with -r command while un installing.. It all
worked fine with wix 2.0 ..

I am using wix3.0 now.

I tried this


         <CustomAction Id="MATHPLAYEREXECUSTOM" Return="check"
Execute="deferred" FileKey="file_MathPlayerSetupexe"
ExeCommand="/Install"/>
      <CustomAction Id="H2REGCUSTOMINSTALL" Return="check"
Execute="deferred"  FileKey="file_H2Regexe" ExeCommand="-r"/>
      <CustomAction Id="H2REGCUSTOMUNINSTALL" Return="check"
Execute="deferred" FileKey="file_H2Regexe" ExeCommand="-u"/>
    <!--     <CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" FileKey="FoobarEXE"
ExeCommand="" Execute="immediate" Impersonate="yes"
Return="asyncNoWait"></CustomAction>-->
        <CustomAction Id="LAUNCHREADMECUSTOM" Property="NOTEPAD"
ExeCommand="[INSTALLDIR]\Readme.txt" Execute="deferred"
Return="asyncNoWait"></CustomAction>



           <InstallExecuteSequence>

                  <Custom Action="MATHPLAYEREXECUSTOM"
After="InstallFinalize">(not MATHPLAYERFOUND) AND INSTALLMATHPLAYER AND
$comp_MathPlayerSetupexe&gt;2</Custom>
                  <Custom Action="H2REGCUSTOMINSTALL"
After="InstallFinalize"> $comp_H2Regexe&gt;2 AND ( ( SEARCHFORVS7) OR
(SEARCHFORVS8) OR (SEARCHFORVS9) ) </Custom>
                  <Custom Action="H2REGCUSTOMUNINSTALL"
After="InstallFinalize"> $comp_H2Regexe=2  AND ( ( SEARCHFORVS7) OR
(SEARCHFORVS8) OR (SEARCHFORVS9) ) </Custom>


    <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"/>
            </InstallExecuteSequence>



I ran and got the following error

C:\Installer.wxs(1462) : error LGHT0204 : ICE77: MATHPLAYEREXECUSTOM is a
in-script custom action.  It must be sequenced in between the
InstallInitialize action and the InstallFinalize action in the
InstallExecuteSequence table
C:\Installer.wxs(1463) : error LGHT0204 : ICE77: H2REGCUSTOMINSTALL is a
in-script custom action.  It must be sequenced in between the
InstallInitialize action and the InstallFinalize action in the
InstallExecuteSequence table
C:\Installer.wxs(1464) : error LGHT0204 : ICE77: H2REGCUSTOMUNINSTALL is a
in-script custom action.  It must be sequenced in between the
InstallInitialize action and the InstallFinalize action in the
InstallExecuteSequence table





any pointers or help regarding this will be highly appreciated. thanks
