installshield launch exe from source media

I have an installshield msi project that produces CD-ROM files.

I know how to set a custom action in order to launch an exe file stored in binary table.

What i want to do is to launch an exe file that is at the source media root directory and it is not copied at the installation directory.

I do not want to add it at the binary table because i want to be able to change the file without building again the installer.

any ideas?

Thanks

For first time installation, you can reference a property that indicates the location of the installation files. Common ones to consider include:

For InstallScript installations (instead of Windows Installer based ones), there is also PACKAGE_LOCATION.
