I am trying to run a MSI that I have installed onto the desktop (via a custom
action) but I get a MSI error 1603…
I have run the code via a cmd line after the install has finished and it
works properly, I just don’t understand why it doesn’t work via the custom
action??
CustomAction:
<CustomAction Id="SetRunSynchronization" Property="RunSynchronizationInst"
Value=""msiexec.exe" /i "C:\Program Files
(x86)\TITUS\Gloria\Services\Synchronization-v2.1-$(var.Platform)-ENU.msi""
Execute="immediate"/>
<CustomAction Id="RunSynchronization" Impersonate="no" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="asyncWait" />
<UI>
<ProgressText Action="RunSynchronization">Installing
Synchronization-v2.1-$(var.Platform)-ENU.msi...</ProgressText>
</UI>
Install execute sequence:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetRunSynchronization" After="CostInitialize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="RunSynchronization" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
Error in MSI:
