[wix-users] Running PowerShell script after installer finishes

[manish duggal]

 Thx Nir and Edwin for your help here. I was able to figure out how to run the script and would like to share the details :)

We can also launch any other executable on the user's machine if we provide its name in a property:
<Property Id='NOTEPAD'>Notepad.exe</Property><CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' Property='NOTEPAD' ExeCommand='[SourceDir]Readme.txt' Return='asyncNoWait' />


So I just used the similar kind of detail in my WIX as<Property Id='POWERSHELL'>powershell.exe</Property>
<CustomAction Id='LaunchUpdaterCmdlet'                       Property='POWERSHELL'                      ExeCommand='-NoProfile -NonInteractive -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "[INSTALLDIR]UpdaterScript.ps1" "'                       Return='ignore'                    />
With this, I was able to run my script after InstallFinalize and as expected it prompts for elevation if needed.
