Hello all,

I want to install some files and after this I want to execute one file of the installed file. These file should be on the system so I used
Create Folder $PROGRAMFILES$\\MySQL
Install Files D:\\Setup\\MySQL\\ServerUnzip\\MySQL Server 5.1\\*.* to $PROGRAMFILES$\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1, include subfolders
Run Program $PROGRAMFILES$\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1\\bin\\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe (WAIT)
But the files are copied after the command
Apply Install ...
So is this the only solution to put all the logic after this statement apply install?

Thanks for your help
Thomas

Yes, exactly. None of the purple commands (which correspond to MSI database entries) have any effect until after Apply Install succeeds.
