title: installing a pre-built executable with a custom action using WiX
body: <p>I'm trying to make the installer I'm writing install the Visual C++ 2012 package so the end user won't have to do it separately. </p>
  
  <p>The executable is sitting in the installation directory but when I build my installer I get an error stating that the system cannot find the file.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the chunk of code pertaining to the portion of my installer in question. Sorry in advance if there are multiple mistakes. I'm just starting to get my feet wet with WiX.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Binary Id="MyVC" SourceFile="[INSTALLDIR]vcredist_x64.exe"/&gt;
  &lt;CustomAction   Id='VCInstall'
                  BinaryKey="MyVC"
                  ExeCommand='/quiet'
                  Execute='deferred' 
                  Return='ignore'/&gt;
  
  &lt;InstallExecuteSequence&gt;
      &lt;Custom Action="VCInstall" Before="InstallFinalize" &gt;&lt;/Custom&gt;
  &lt;/InstallExecuteSequence&gt;
  </code></pre>
