Custom Action Problem

I am trying to start my main app from the InstallFinalize Custom Action.

When the app starts it needs to read from an INI file. For some reason when AI starts the app, it cannot read from here. After closing the install and start the app normally it works fine.

Currently this only seems to be happening on a 2003 Term Server, but it happens every time.

Hi,

I'm not sure why you are encountering this behavior. What kind of custom action are you using? You can try to use an "Exe with working dir" custom action.

Also, you can try to debug this behavior (for example see if the INI is present in the installation folder when the custom action is running or find out where your application searches the INI file).
