Dim ObjFSO, objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Hi Usha...
the script seems to be fine, you should check the sequence of the custom I would suggest to place this custom just before install finalize with Deffered execution system context if you dont have any user specific config in this package.EXE

1) you should be delivering a package.exe file to that location.
2) you need to resolve %windir% with something like objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%") or similar
3) as stated previously be previous poster
4) you should wait for execution to complete and send back the return code to the calling CA.
5) you need to have a commit / rollback CA to match the deferred CA mentioned in 3) and 4)

You are calling environmental variables, you need to get value of windir by adding
Dim objWINDIR
objWINDIR = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%")
Dim objWINDIR
objWINDIR = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%")

Have you checked whether PACKAGE.EXE extracts and executes any MSIs? If it does, your CA will fail anyway.
Also, are you sure you know what PACKAGE.EXE does to your workstations? I *always* re-package anything which isn't in MSI form if, for no other reason, than to know what I'm unleashing on my client's estate.

.....and once you've finished checking out the solutions presented by the helpful people above, do you really need to create a FileSystemObject if you're not going to use it? Or better still.....maybe you keep it, and actually use it to check if Package.EXE exists in the first place before trying to run it?
