I have a form project I am packaging as an EXE that works well. Currently it references an external file(CSV) that I have to point to that my EXE calls. I realized that using an MSI installer that would copy my compiled EXE and CSV file to the programs folder would be the ideal solution, however i'm not sure how I would make essentially just a wrapper of the compiled EXE. I don't want to make a form or any type of dialog for the MSI installer, I just want it to fire off.

I'm not exactly clear on what you are trying to achieve.

Do you want a silent install of the MSI or do you want the script executable to run without a UI?
Or do you want the installer to kick off the executable during install? (Note: This isn't supported at the moment)

In an ideal solution, I could just put my CSV file into the form project I have and dot source it that way. Since I will be using this on multiple computers, the cleanest way to achieve this type of functionality was in my opinion to install my compiled form project using an MSI that would also be able to copy my CSV file into the install location.

I don't need the MSI to do anything other than install the compiled project on the machine and create the CSV file in the same directory. So a blank MSI is what I'm going for.

That functionality is build in. Just create an MSI installer for your packaged executable and add the CSV file to it.
It's on the deploy tab. If you have any questions, please let us know.

I didn't realize it would be able to work that way. Tried it out and worked flawlessly. Thank you.
