Hi!

I've tried to make a custom action with WinInstall. I need to do the following; After the MSI package is done installing I want to call a KiXtart script (e.g. KiX32.EXE Script.KiX) to do some stuff in HKLM (so I hope that since it will be executed from and within the MSI package it will still have the proper rights to write to HKLM.

I've tried the example (http://seer.support....docs/234777.htm) to call a simple batchfile which can be found on the Veritas site to no avail, to call external stuff seems to be very poorly documented there!

Also, very important, I've got a working package at this time with the .MSI file, Program Files & Winnt directory. I want to be able to make a subdirectory to that structure (like KiX or similar) where I place KiX32.EXE and the script or scripts).

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Is there a reason you're not setting the registry entries from within the MSI itself?  That is, is there a reason why you're going to a script/batch file/whatever to make registry changes?

Regardless, you should be able to create an IScript CA that calls LaunchAppAndWait(...) to launch your batch file.

Andrew!

Well, there is several reasons. One reason is to notify the user or so with information etc. alt. to make small changes in the files to name a few.

What is an 'IScript CA'?
