Custom Action Problem

I followed Q111515 on how to launch batch file using custom action but I'm getting error 1722 in the installer logs. My batch files is located in INSTALLDIR and simply calls cacls /t /e /g users:c. The custom action does "[SystemFolder]cmd.exe" /c "[INSTALLDIR]runcacls.cmd". Set InstallExecSeq to after CreateShortcuts and Installexeccondition to VersionNT. I'm getting the following errors in my log.


MSI (s) (24:5C) [11:31:09:984]: Note: 1: 1722 2: runcacls 3: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ 4: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" /c "C:\Program Files\STIXW8\modperms.cmd"
Action start 11:31:09: runcacls.

Any help would be appreciated!

If your custom action is scheduled for immediate execution, you may want to change it to deferred.
Yeah, that worked. Thanks for the help.
