Custom action and setupcompletesuccess dialog
Hi I am using Installshield 2010 and have made several msi based installation projects.In most of them the custom action for launch read me after setupcompletesuccess's ok pushbutton is working perfectly .However in two of my projects launch read me custom action is not getting launched at all.All the settings are same.Nothing is missing.Infact I have gone through all the enteries in all the tables in the Direct editor to see if something is different in these msi projects than the others .Settings for custom action are immediate execution,asynchronus(don't wait for completion),always execute.Same settings are working fine for other setups.Please help somebody!:confused:

If you have not, enable verbose logging and take a look at the log file.

"ERROR_CREATE_FAILED 1631 The Windows Installer service failed to start. Contact your support personnel. "
Did you check the event view to find out more clue about the installer service?
