如何在MSI中运行exe？

Question

Kind time of the day! I'm working on creating an msi installer using the wix toolkit. It was required to run exe from under the msi installer. Here is my code:

<Binary Id="JDK_EXE" src="..\..\jdk\jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe"/>

<CustomAction Id="RunJavaJDKInstall"
              BinaryKey="JDK_EXE"
              ExeCommand="" 
              Return="check"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <Custom Action ="RunJavaJDKInstall" After="InstallInitialize"></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

The question is what to write in the ExeCommand tag to run jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe on execution?

You cant make in msı project but you can make it with wix bootstrapper project like this.

<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" />

   <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM"
                     Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full"
                     Value="Version"
                     Variable="Netfx4FullVersion" />
  <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM"
                     Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full"
                     Value="Version"
                     Variable="Netfx4x64FullVersion"
                     Win64="yes" />
