Hi:

I created a console app that runs a database maintenance script.  I would
like to launch it after install completes.  As part of install, exe is
installed in application directory.

I add custom action to run exe on Commit event.  However, I get an error
saying "file not found C:\Program
Files\QuadraMed\QMedTest\QMedTest.InstallState".  The path and file name are
correct, but "InstallState" is wrong file extension.  It should be "EXE".
Anyone know whats going on?

Thanks,
Charlie

Ensure that you generate the assembly with a different name to the namespace
you're using.

See project properties.
