Custom action dos not run

I have a Custom Action in then "InstallExecuteSequence" - " InstallFinalize" . this is a Exe with working directory.
And wath ever i try, it wil not run. I dont get any error. I also run it with /L*V from the command line and looked in the file for error, but the errors in the log file where about a bmp wich was 3 pixel to large. but nothing over the custom action. The exe file i want to run is installed by the msi.

I als o tried "installed curstom action" but that also did not work. I tried different other option but no succes.
At some point i got a error message like: can not find "c:\Program"
The exe file i want to run is located in c:\PRogram FIles\[Productname]\Runtimer.

I am testing the setup on a Sun VirtualBox 3.04 Virtual MAchine with windows XP

Re: Custom action dos not run

Hi,
At some point i got a error message like: can not find "c:\Program"
Please make sure that the path you are using for the .exe file is enclosed by quotes. This should solve the problem.
