Can you please give an example? I am trying to install adobe reader during an
install:
<Component Id='adobeExecutable'
Guid='{4CF9BEFE-C502-4fe8-B3C0-3DC19674132A}'>
<File Id='adobe' Name='adober' DiskId='1' Source='AdobeReader.exe'
Vital='no' />
</Component>
<Feature Id="ExtraFeature" Title="Adobereader" Level="1">
<ComponentRef Id="adobeExecutable"/>
</Feature>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='LaunchFile' Before='InstallFinalize'/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' ExeCommand='AdobeReader.exe'
Return='asyncNoWait'>
It doesn't work. Can you please tell me where am I going wrong?

You won't be able to install Adobe Reader because you can't install two
products simultaneously. You need to use a chainer, or, better yet, give
the user a choice of PDF reader.

Re: How to launch a third party executable during install?
It's just an Exe CustomAction, or if you have a command-line tool you don't
want popping UI, use QtExec. This is a better question for wix-users by the
way.

Hello,
I am looking for a way to install third party tools during installation.
Similar to LaunchAppandWait of InstallShield. How to accomplish it using
WIX?
Thanks,
