Newbie to WiX here. What does "failed to get command line data" really
mean?

Does it mean it doesn't see my command or does it mean my command doesn't
run? I've been able to track down a few threads where folks find solutions,
but I'm still not getting things to work. I have a test .exe called
LittleApp.exe that is deployed.

    <CustomAction Id="QtExecInstallCmdLineSet" Property="QtExecCmdLine"
>                   Value='"[INSTALLFOLDER]LittleApp.exe" install'/>
>     <CustomAction Id="QtExecInstallCmdLineRun" BinaryKey="WixCA"
> DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute ="deferred" Return="check" />
>
>     <InstallExecuteSequence>
>       <Custom Action="QtExecInstallCmdLineSet" After="InstallFiles">Not
> Installed</Custom>
>       <Custom Action="QtExecInstallCmdLineRun" After="
> QtExecInstallCmdLineSet ">Not Installed</Custom>
>       <ScheduleReboot After="QtExecInstallCmdLineRun" />
>     </InstallExecuteSequence>


Here's what happens:

Action start 17:11:53: InstallFiles.
> Action ended 17:11:54: InstallFiles. Return value 1.

Action start 17:11:54: QtExecInstallCmdLineSet.

I do briefly see my folder written, so I suspect the files are there. Why
can't I run my .exe?

Thanks for everyone's patience.

Respectfully,
Tim
