SetUp & Deployment

Question

I`m doing a SetUp & Deployment project. I`m using Custom Actions Editor to create a file and place it in the Installation Directory, this code is in a class file. When I add the output of this I want the file to be created and instead the .exe file is being placed in the Installation directory. What do I have to do to to send the output of the .exe file and not the .exe itself into the installation directory. What am I missing?

Here is the Code This goes as the primary output to the SetUp Project in the Install Node. This code calls Some.exe I know this works because when I run EmptyProject.exe directly it calls Some.exe without any problems. Only when I try to install the main application I`m getting an exception. These are the options i`m using InstallerClass - False [I`ve tried with True] Argument - [TARGETDIR] - [I`ve tried this being blank too] Any idea of whats going wrong? using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Diagnostics; namespace EmptyProject { public class ClassEP { public static void Main(string[] args) ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(); psi.FileName = Some.exe; psi.WorkingDirectory = String.Join( args); Process.Start(psi); } } }
