[wix-users] Custom action at the end of install

[Vanniekerk, Tyrel (GE Healthcare)]

I will do some reading on that, thanks.  I have not been able to get it to work that way, so someone suggested to have it run on the Close button on the exit dialog.  That works, but I don't like doing it that way.

If you want a custom action to be run at the very end of a successful installation I would consider authoring it as a ‘commit’ action to be run at the end of the InstallExecuteSequence. That way it will only run if the installation finishes successfully, and it will also run at the end of a silent install.

These special actions can be identified by their negative sequence numbers.  Please schedule the action 'UpdateRemotingConfigFile' to come before or after a different action.
