EXE running from InstallExecute action

Hi, I am currently packaging Rational Requisite Pro and its a patched vendor .msi.

I require the instllation to write some HKCU keys. I cannot use the advertised shortcut option as the .exe keypath is machine data so causes an ICE57.

I have therefore chosen the Active Setup option. Active setup runs correctly but the install runs a setup.exe from within the InstallExecute action and fails with an error 432 "setup detected uninstallshield is in use". I would like to condtionalise the running of this setup.exe whilst running the Active Setup repair to only run this setup.exe on the initial install and not repairs.

Any advise on a solution would be much apprieciated.

Thanks in advace.

This has now been solved 🙂

I have found a deferred custom action in the install exe sequence that I can conditionalise.
