Software Deployment

The problem is the file is a .ex_ file which i need to add to the mst .............

What is the problem with adding the file to the transform? What tool are you using? If it's Orca or InstEdit, you REALLY need to know what you're doing.

I am trying with instEdit. But its not running the .ex_ file.
I need to add .ex_ to the transform . I am trying with the custom actions after install files in Install execute sequence............

Wow...you have a massive learning curve to climb, starting with the fact that you seem to believe that a file whose extension is ".ex_" will be executable...

I'm afraid I don't have time to enumerate the enormous number of steps you need to go through to get to a working install. I suggest that you first learn some operating system fundamentals, such as which files can actually be run. After that, read and digest Phil WIlson's The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer. After THAT, get yourself a decent MSI authoring package and learn to use it. Once you've done all that, you will hopefully have the level of knowledge that will allow you to get the most out of using tools like Orca/InstEdit.

Thank you ........it was actually a .exe file which was missing ...................the mistake i made was i was running the application from server and the installation was not able to find the file .Then after sometime I realized and when I ran locally it was working.Yes I am new to packaging learning basics............................The problem is sorted

I really appreciate your suggestion and I am working on that one...............
