Error 2753 The File '[2]' is not marked for installation
Hi
I'm trying to run a custom action and I sometimes receive the following error:
Error 2753 The File '[2]' is not marked for installation
This only happens when the EXE needed to run the custom action has been put on by another install. I still want my custom action to run. My question is what condition do I need to make this happen? Does the component or custom action get this condition?
Thanks in advance

This sounds a lot like http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=191915 to me. Could you try changing the custom action type like described on that thread?

Thanks for the reply. Using the Custom Action wizard, we modified the existing custom action from Launching an executable "Installed with the product" to "Stored in the Directory table". We are still testing but this appears to have worked.
