I need to run a .exe file the installer installed in my application folder at the end of setup. This is intended to adjust installed application directory grants. I use LE 2014 and VS 2012 Ultimate.
Then I created a custom action :
- type : after setup completes success dialog - source location : installed with the product - file name : I browse to [INSTALLDIR]GrantRights.Primary output (a C# program which asks for rights elevation when run) - command line : blank - wait for action : yes, I also tried no - ignore exit code : yes - comments : blanks - conditions : no conditions
With this setup my GrantRights.exe executable is't run. I've checked its dependencies and existence in installation directory.
Then for "fun" I placed a copy of GrantRights.exe in my Windows user profile (where it works well too) and setup the following action instead:
- source location : file exists on target computer - file location: [PersonalFolder] - file name and command line : GrantRights.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp" - wait for action : yes - ignore exit code : yes - comments : blanks - conditions : no conditions
IS project doesn't compile, with following error. I'm clueless about this. Why does it compute such a path?
Error 118 -1024: File C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\GrantRights.exe not found. Cannot stream the file into the Binary table ISEXP : error : -1024: File C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\GrantRights.exe not found. Cannot stream the file into the Binary table
You're right, as I found out, I need to add eleveated privileges request to the final executable I've packaged, because my executable requires them. Just for my infomation, can IS manage this parameter in a commercial edition ? In my case I had to right-click setup.exe and check a checkbox.
