Not able to call exe custom action
Hi,
I am trying to call 1 exe, from office 2007 interop assemblies msi, but whenever I try to import through custom action, wise package studio
gets crashed, if i try to do it through tables I can import exe in my custom actions, but it does not work...
any idea?

What do you mean by "import through Custom Action"? Detail precisely the steps you're taking, making sure you correctly note down the menu item and/or window text.

Hi,
If I am importing any custom action for e.g. deletefiles.exe, then while compiling wise gets crashed..

"Importing" makes no sense. Do you mean you're selecting "Run EXE from installation", or "Run EXE from installed files"? As I asked previously, state the exact steps you're following.

Hardly surprising, since you're not running a WiseScript, you're running an EXE. Either use the EXE and select 'Run EXE from installation' or the WSE (the "source" file for the EXE) and select 'Run WiseScript from installation'.

So import the WSE , not the EXE. The WSE contains the script, the EXE is a compiled version of the script and becomes, in effect, like any other program. You'd get the same effect if you tried to use Notepad.exe.
