Pulled down the source and looked at the installer wxs files. I think all that needs to be done is to change the following: BinaryKey="Postinst.exe" to FileKey="postinst.exe" I think that should be the piece that turns it into a action type of 18. I'd build and test, but I haven't gotten around to building the full thing just yet. If that works, then you should be able to remove the line that adds postinst.exe to the binary table. <Binary Id="Postinst.exe" src="$(var.CVSNT_BASE)\postinst.exe" /> Thanks, Casey "Casey Schmit" <cschmit at winternals.com> wrote in message news:d36v52$qfq$1 at paris.nodomain.org... > So it is a Wix install... :) I hadn't looked.
