Just wanted to make sure that you got our email, and that you had a chance to have a look at it.

This problem is holding up our rollout with InstallAware, and we'd like to get it cleared up as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot

I agree with you that it should behave that way, but unfortunately in our case it doesn't. Here's the scenario: - make a build with the run program to show the program window - when run it returns the proper result code - next make the same build but we hide the program window - when run it always r...

We run a program that we expect will return a result code, 0 on OK, 1 on failure. This works fine when we run the program with the "Hide program window" unchecked. When we run with the window hidden, the result code is always 0. Is there a way to get the correct result code with a hidden w...

This was fixed by creating the 7zip archive with no compression.

We also used Run Program As because we needed to specfiy the current working directory.

Just use the call to the dll to change the current directory (stated in above post) before you call Run Program.

Contrary to what was posted earlier I do agree that the default behaviour of Run Program As is it clears almost all the environment. However I have a solution that may work for you: Use Run Program, this will use the current enviroment. Also, if the program has to be run in a certain location use a ...

When extracting files using Extract 7zip Archive, it shows the progress going from 0% to 50% to 101%. This doesn't look professional and our QA deptartment is harrassing us about it as well

Attached is a screenshot which shows our over achieving installer.

We have created a few shortcuts using the "create shortcut" command and they are called before Apply install and works fine. Now we need to add one more shortcut whose target is constructed from variables that are created after the Apply Install. The problem is that we need this last short...

I found a solution. Instead of using "Control Service" which is dependant on Apply install, I'm using windows' Net command to start a service, so Now I do "run program Net Start ServiceName". Just to let you all know if you need to start a registered service use: net start Servic...

hmmmm....ok thanks Michael

I noticed though that having a second call to Apply Install will re-copy all my files though. Which now doubles the install time. I know I can set it to not to overwrite if the files exists within Install Files command, however on an upgrade will need to overwrite those files. Is there any way to in...

I'm going to force the SUCESS variable to COMLPLETE after the second apply install. Are there any harmful consequences by doing that?

I see where I can put in command line arguments

Judging by the service groups you can put precedence, however I don't see how you will be able to run an executable between starting the services.

Even if I use "Install Service" won't I still need to call Apply Install before it will be started? Also, to install as a service I need to pass some command line arguments, I don't see where I can do that.

Also, I need to run an executable between starts of services.

I need to start 2 services. The dependencies are as follows: service1<-executable<-service2 The executable will populate the database which the second service needs. The first service is to start the db. I have this: [other code to create folders,install files, extract files etc....] Control Service...
