I'm such a bone head....

On second glance, I did mess up the custom tasks...:-(

Thanks for your help,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have added a handler for the AfterInstall event which does get
invoked if I use installutil.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am having an issue with installing an .exe I have created in VS2003.
I have created exes with installers before with no problems, but this
one has got me stumped.

I have MYApp.exe which has an installer class within it. When I create
the MSI and run it, the installer class does not get invoked.

However, if I run 'installutil MYapp.exe', it does get invoked. Any
ideas what would cause this?

Thanks,
Glenn
