Hello !

I have a big problem when i want to launch a msi file with a custom action.
I have create a property MSIEXEC with the value msiexec, and i use it to create a custom action who launch an executable.
My custom action target is :
/i run1.msi /qb

and i have copy run1.msi and its subdirectories in the directory of my main msi.

thank you for your help !

Greetings,

Try this:

CustomAction Type 34

1.  Launch an Execuatable
2.  Stored in the Directory Table
3.  SystemFolder
4.  Target:   MsiExec.exe /I <path to your MSI.> /qb

Make sure this is sequenced after InstallFiles so that the MSI it is trying to run can be located on the Target machine.

Good Luck

Thank for your help Kurt but now the message is :
Erreur interne 2744. exe, c:\winnt\System32\, MsiExec.exe /I d:\msi\run1.msi

Another idea ?

Grrrr,

Try taking the .exe off of MsiExec.exe ..... I don't think much will change however.  Hmmmm.  I keep looking into this one.

Sorry
