[cx-freeze-users] bdist_msi and install-script

[John F. <joh...@gm...>]

I'm creating an MSI with cx_Freeze, and I'm trying to add a script at the
end to perform various things to make the program ready to run.  However,
I'm noticing that the indicated install-script is never run.  I've created
a skeleton "dummy" app to test with, and it never runs the install-script,
which is currently just writing some text to a file on the drive.  Here's
the "dummy" setup.py:

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import sys

if 'bdist_msi' in sys.argv:
    sys.argv += ['--install-script', 'test.py']
exe = Executable(
      script="dummy.py",
      base="Win32GUI",
      targetName="dummy.exe"
     )
setup(  name = "cx_dummy",
        version = "1.0",
        author = 'me',
        description = "Dummy",
        executables = [exe],
        scripts = ['test.py']
        )


I've dug through the cx_Freeze code, and found that bdist_msi.run() is not
calling self.add_scripts() from the parent class, which is (in distutils)
how the CustomAction gets added to the MSI.  I've started to make some
changes, but before I got too deep I thought I'd ask:  Is this feature
implemented in some other way?  Is there a way to tell cx_Freeze to run a
python script after install, similar to the distutils install-script?
