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?

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. -----Original Message----- From: wix-devs-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wix-devs-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of hina1703 Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 08:09 To: wix-devs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [WiX-devs] How to launch a third party executable during install?
