Not sure if this will help or not.




This is what I use to call a batch file:

Source Location: File Exists on target Computer
File Location: [SystemFolder]
File Name and Command Line: cmd.exe /c "[folderName]Databases\filename.bat"
In-Script Execution: Deferred Execution in System Context
Wait for action: Yes
Ignore Exit code: Yes


This is what I use to call an exe file to uninstall my service:

Source Location: File Exists on target Computer
File Location: [WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
File Name and Command Line: InstallUtil.exe /u "[INSTALLDIR]ServiceFileName.exe"
In-Script Execution: Deferred Execution in System Context
Wait for action: Yes
Ignore Exit code: Yes

Your File Location will just be the folder directory where your exe exists.
The file name and command line will just be whatever the app is that you are calling.
