Re: New RegistryEx Plug-In for Enumerating Keys, Values

Does anyone know if this plugin works with InstallAware 9?

Create or check for account

Re: Waiting for an MSI package to finish installing

Hmmm. The MSI files are provided by a third party, so I don't have any control over them.

From what you say though, if I convert them into installaware MSIs, that will guarantee that the 'Install MSI Setup' will only return when the install is complete, is that correct?

Waiting for an MSI package to finish installing

Hi, My application installer depends on a number of other (third-party) packages, which are distributed as MSI files. I'm trying to fold these into my installer script, and install them using the "install MSI package" command. The problem I have is that the first MSI package must be instal...
