Have created a basic MSI that copies a batch file to c:\program files (x86)\uniclass. I now need to run this MSI. I have tried using a custom action but it will not run. What do I need to put in the 'fileandcommand line' field and also do I have to put anything in the 'Install Exec Sequence' field. I'm a novice at this so any help would be very welcome.

If you are trying to run the bat file from a custom action in your msi, then the executable is want to launch is cmd.exe and the command line is /c <path to your bat file>

Hi,
I need to do that but how declare that in the Custom Action Wizard ?
Type: I set "lauch an executable"
Location: There is no choice for a system executable like cmd.exe and I cannot declare
the batch which is not seen as an exe ....
Thanks,
Ok, I found it.
I had to choose an exe in the binary table, then next I had to browse to my system folder on cmd.exe then I entered the command line.
Thanks,

This would add cmd.exe to your setup package which is not good. Better use Executable - Location stored in Directory table.
