Silent installation with call to an external .exe
Hello !
I'm looking to create an MSI that uses, among other things, an external .exe.
I succeeded in making this call with a custom action. No problem with this.
My problem is that if I execute the MSI I created in silent mode (for example with a call via PowerShell), the part concerning this executable is not taken into account (the installation corresponding to this .exe is not done).
How can I define the behavior that this MSI file must follow with a silent installation so that all the steps are well done?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Check that you are not running the custom action in the UI sequence of your installer - a silent installation does not run the UI sequence and will therefore not run the custom action if that is where its location.

Thank you for this answer.
Indeed the action is in the UI sequence of my installer. The solution would be to remove it from this part? And to define its behavior so that it is executed in "Install Exec Sequence" ?
I will try to do that then. Thanks for the help.
