Hello,

I am having problems in calling other EXEs from my EXE using CA.
I run A.exe form my CA. A.exe runs B.exe, but B.exe does not do its job.
however, when i check the exit code of the B.exe it is reproted as zero.

here is the flow.
CA > A.exe > B.exe stop > B.exe start

I install A.exe and B.exe. My CA is after InstallFinalize and execution type is Immediate.

any tips or hints will help me a lot.
thanks.

try running it as Defered Execution

A deferred custom action would ensure that both EXE files are installed to disk before they are run (as should putting immediate actions after InstallFinalize, but a deferred action is better).

Are you installing both executables to the same directory? Mabe you can use dependency walker to ensure that all dependent files are available for the EXE files.
