I want to create a MSI package, that runs two command lines
I'm sure this is a simple question but I'm having a reall brain fade today (it is St Pat's day [:'(])
I want to create a MSI package (as I want to push out it out via our deployment tools) that runs two command lines.
"\\source01\PACKAGING\Source\PDFFactoryPro2.5\Files\setup32.exe /kernelmode /quiet"
xcopy \\source01\PACKAGING\Source\PDFFactoryPro2.5\Files\FppLicense2.ini %windir%\system32 /C /Y
Now before anyone suggest I should see if there's a MSI in the setup32.exe there's not (that would be too nice and easy) and before anyone suggests snapshotting/install monitoring the setup32.exe that isn't a option as the package installs printers (and creates a service) therefore it doesn't capture correctly (The software is like Adobe Distiller, in that you print to it and it creates a PDF)
Can someone please help

Custom Action? Can´t you create a custom action that runs the setup.exe in the msi?
Or in your SoftwareDistribution tool create a separate setup.exe installation package?

You need a Custom Action here, maybe a
Action: <name of action>
Type: 2 (msidbCustomActionTypeExe + msidbCustomActionTypeBinaryData), possible 1026 (msidbCustomActionTypeExe + msidbCustomActionTypeBinaryData + msidbCustomActionTypeInScript)
Source: <binary table, name column>
Target: /kernelmode /quiet
As for the ini-file, I would recommend just putting it in the MSI as a normal file.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
