Thank you for your help! We eventually figured it out, here is a snippet of
our working source
<Binary
Id="ExecuteCommand"
SourceFile="path\to\exe\ExecuteCommand.exe" />
<CustomAction
Id="checkDependencies"
BinaryKey="ExecuteCommand"
Impersonate="yes"
Execute="deferred"
ExeCommand="perl 'checkDependencies.pl'"
Return="check" />
We had to write our own exe to do it however, but that was not really a
problem.
Now we are trying to figure out how we can get the perl scripts into the
msi, unpacked and on the new system, and run them before install. Is there a
way to include the .pl files and our ExecuteCommand.exe in the msi like you
would normal components and write them before the other files, or to include
them a separate way and have them still be written to disk before the actual
install occurs.
Thanks again,
Dan
