Hi,

I need to launch an installed executable (component keyfile) that uses 'requireAdministrator' for requestedExecutionLevel at the end of my installation.

Therefore I wanted to use a InstallScript CA that makes use of LaunchApplication using ShellExecuteEx (and 'runas' for lpVerb).

Now I don´t know how to get the path to the installed executable. Must I use MsiGetComponentPath?

Or do you know any other solution?

Thanks
Nick

Is this executable one you have installed? If so, you should just be able to use INSTALLDIR (or whatever directory you installed it to). If not, can you do a system search to get its path? For example, does the package that installed it write an App Path key entry in the registry, or record its path somewhere else?

Yes, the executable gets installed by the package.
So I simply get the directory property using MsiGetProperty.
That´s it, right?

It´s working now, thanks.
