Could you provide a minimal example showing your authoring and errors?

Sounds like one version built successfully but failed at runtime. Can you provide an example of that authoring and the runtime error?

I didn't see your previous message in the archives. Attachments get scrubbed out so better to provide text or post non-text resources on an external site and provide a link.

HI ,

We are developing a project where we need to install an external payload (.exe) silently with our wix bundle as a prerequisite which we are shipping with our wix .exe , we have tried giving compressed as "no" and giving an absolute path. We are unable to give a relative path for the exe, giving that gives a build error. And the absolute path does not work when the setup is run in other systems.

Need help from you in how to install that external payload silently as a prerequisite without any user interaction on all systems without including it in the wix bundle.

Already sent a mail with this issue and some screenshots a week back but received no response.

Thanks & Regards,
Allokik Pranshu
