I am attempting to install the dependency of my program
*vcredist_x86_2008.exe* and *vcredist_x86_2010.exe* from my msi before it
attempts to install the program itself. I have following piece of code.
<Binary Id="SetupCA"
SourceFile="..\..\ext_library\SetupCA\SetupCA\bin\Release\SetupCA.CA.dll"/><Binary
Id="VCREDIST_2008_FILE"
SourceFile="..\..\ext_library\vcredist_x86_2008.exe" /><Binary
Id="VCREDIST_2010_FILE"
SourceFile="..\..\ext_library\vcredist_x86_2010.exe" /><CustomAction
Id="VCREDIST_2008" BinaryKey="VCREDIST_2008_FILE" ExeCommand="/q:a"
Execute="immediate" Return="check" /><CustomAction Id="VCREDIST_2010"
BinaryKey="VCREDIST_2010_FILE" ExeCommand="/q /norestart"
Execute="immediate" Return="check" /><CustomAction
Id="WRITEFILETODISK" Execute="immediate" BinaryKey="SetupCA"
DllEntry="WriteFileToDisk" /><CustomAction Id="ResidueRemove"
Execute="immediate" BinaryKey="SetupCA" DllEntry="DeleteResidue"
/><InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="WRITEFILETODISK" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="ResidueRemove" After="InstallFinalize">Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="VCREDIST_2008" Before="CostInitialize">NOT Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="VCREDIST_2010" Before="CostInitialize">NOT
Installed</Custom></InstallExecuteSequence>
I have two other custom actions *WRITEFILETODISK*, which will get the
parameters passed to installer and write config in file, and *ResidueRemove*
that is to be run on uninstallation, which has to remove leftovers if any.
Installing the msi using /l*v mode, I get the following:
Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run.
Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action:
VCREDIST_2008, location: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIA422.tmp, command:
/q:a

Isn't this the proper way of installing another exe from msi? please
correct it if I'm wrong.
