I need this feature because i'm launching an external installer (.exe) and i need to give it a serial number (user dependent, asked in the bootstrapper UI) as parameter, and the only way to give it this parameter is by renaming this exe file from INSTALLER.EXE to INSTALLER_SERIAL.exe Yes i know this is completely silly, but i don't have the hand on it.
If i include it as a bootstrapper payload, is there a way to get it's pathname ? If yes, i'll run it manually (i don't need to track it). Or maybe by creating a msiPackage, or a custom action i can do it. I don't know the easiest way. Or last way, i create a windows exe which takes the correct parameters (as real parameters) and does the renaming / execution / and renaming back for wix.
