visual studio .net setup:

Hi
Using VS2005 install script we have added a 2 button radio dialog in which
the user can select a option.
ButtonProperty is DBTYPE, this I assume is set to 1 or 2 depending on which
radio is chosen.
The dialog is between the Welcome and the Installation Folder dialogs.

In Custom Actions - Install we have placed a exe which is installed and we
want it to run if DBTYPE is 1
settings are
Name intsPosrGre.exe
Condition DBTYPE=1

However the external program does not run, I assume I have done somthing
wrong in the custom action
Any ideas please

Well it does work in general. You haven't got Installer class true have you?
Did you leave a /Install Argument that's making the program immediately
exit?
