.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / August 2004How to shell exe from Install Project
I want to pass arguments and shell an exe from my install project. This exe in turn installs some third party runtime files that are being used in my appliation. How can I do it? You will need to create a Custom Action in your installer project, look at this example from MSDN to get started, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxwlkwalkthroughusingcusto mactiontocreatedatabaseduringinstallation.asp  SignatureSijin Joseph http://www.indiangeek.net http://weblogs.asp.net/sjoseph > I want to pass arguments and shell an exe from my install project. > This exe in turn installs some third party runtime files that are > being used in my appliation. How can I do it? Hi, You have to use custom actions in your deployment project. For a tutorial on this: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Dec/CustomInstallMG.asp I want to pass arguments and shell an exe from my install project. This exe in turn installs some third party runtime files that are being used in my appliation. How can I do it? If the exe that installs a 3rd party runtime is MSI-based, there's a good chance it won't work from your custom action because two MSI-based installs can't be run simultaneously. Other than that, a custom action is what you can use.
