Wix installer not executing file from copied temp folder.

Hello All,

I have a problem that I know I'm really close to solving and was wondering if anyone out there had an answer.

I have a bunch of folders and files that get copied to a temp directory. Here's my structure.

<Fragment>
    <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
      <Directory Id="TempFolder">
        <Directory Id="ArcGISTempDir" Name="ArcGIS_Engine_Runtime_10_1" />
      </Directory>
    </Directory>
  </Fragment>

On the install computer the folder and contents get copied to

C:\Users\DEMO_User\AppData\Local\Temp\ArcGIS_Engine_Runtime_10_1

This is what I'm expecting.

I have a CustomAction that looks like this.

<CustomAction Id="ArcGISRuntime_CA" Directory="ArcGISTempDir" Execute="deferred" ExeCommand="Setup.msi INSTALLDIR=C:\ArcGIS INSTALLDIR1="%programfiles%\Python27" SEAT_PREFERENCE_ENGINE=Fixed ENGINE_CONFIG=TRUE /qb" Return="asyncWait" HideTarget="no" Impersonate="no" />

I have it set up in the <installsetupsequence> properly because I have something executing after this one.

I need to be able to run the setup.msi found on the install computer's directory

C:\Users\DEMO_User\AppData\Local\Temp\ArcGIS_Engine_Runtime_10_1

. How do I setup the CustomAction to kick off on the install computer when it's supposed to kick off in the InstallSetupSequence?

Am I heading in the right direction?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've also got it displayed as a <feature> just in case.
