[wix-users] To get the location of the msi which is getting executed ?

[Phil Wilson]

That sounds like the SourceDir property:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371857(v=vs.85).aspx

Or perhaps the OriginalDatabase property. 

Why is it external and not packaged in the MSI as a binary custom action?
And if it's a setup that's MSI-based then running it from a CA has some
issues. An there's always the Burn option too.

Hi,
I have a exe that needs to be launched while doing msi installation, so this
exe will be placed in the same folder as the msi, I am thinking to write a
CA to get the path from where the msi is launched and use it to check for
this exe. So the question is will i be able to get the location of the msi
which is getting executed ?
