I am using wix and want to call command line after installation.

How can I do this?

My command line is here “bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff” // this makes dep off

Yes, I’ve read about custom actions, but I didn’t see any example with command line.

P.S. bcdedit is usual exe in Win 7 and higher.

P.S. currently I have next script and it does not work:

          Directory  ="INSTALLLOCATION"
          ExeCommand ='echo hello> echo_test.txt'
          Execute    ="immediate"
          Return     ="asyncNoWait"
                />

    Ok, this example works…

    <CustomAction Id         ="echo_test"                     
                  Directory  ="INSTALLLOCATION"
                  ExeCommand ='NOTEPAD.EXE echo_test.txt'
                  Execute    ="immediate"
                  Return     ="asyncNoWait"
                        />
    

    My test example with echo didn’t worked for some reason.
    And bcdedit does not exist on WinXP, where I am testing now…
