If the EXE file is placed in other installer task, uncheck the "From current task only " option. If it does not belong to AWinstall project (for example, if it is placed into known directory by third-party application), enter the path to this file. You can use installer variables in file path.

After adding the Run Action, you can adjust other action settings. Select Run Action in the project tree to bring the "Run settings" pane.
