Issue on triggering EXE while installing msi
Hi All,
Project requirement [8D]:(1) One folder has to be added in to the .msi,
When installing that .msi the folder should be copied to the c:/Programfiles/folder.
(2). The folder contain app.exe it has to get trigger before finishing the .msi,
"While installing of App.exe it will ask for Data base name ,domain name,server name etc "
I have tried [8|]: I copied Windows Application.msi, Added Folder into the package(C:/Progfiles/).
and added Customaction in "Execute Program from Installed files" before "InstallFinalize", Condition i have provided is "Not Installed",
Problem facing[:(] : When App.exe is triggered and started to install, if in between i exit the App.exe setup it will exit. But .msi is Installing and we can see the entry of .msi in Addremove program.
If i give all the details for the App.exe while installing two entries (.msi & App.exe) i am getting in ARP. If i am uninstalling .msi the App.exe also has to get remove.
My requirement : (1).When installing .msi after triggering App.exe if i exit the setup the .msi also has to exit.
(2).After successfully installing both, only .msi has to be shown in ARP, If i uninstall .msi App.exe also has to get uninstall.
Can anyone help me in finding the solution.[:(]
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sus_pack,
what is "App.exe", an application or another installation?

Clearly, if App.EXE is adding stuff to ARP, it's an installation stub, not an application. You yourself state "after triggering App.exe if I exit the setup..."!
The work-around I envisage is to:
- create a property to contain details of whether ProductInstalledByApp.EXE_IsPresent with value '0'
- add a new CA to your MSI which checks for the existence of whatever product App.EXE is installing and sets the property's value to that product's product Code
- immediately after that CA, if the property is set to 0, abort the installation. If it contains App.EXE's Product Code, continue with the installation.
