Hide custom actions (DOS windows)

[Claude Pelletier]

Hello,

A DOS windows appears each time I run a custom command in my setup wizard. Is there a way to hide all of those windows ?


Thanks.

Hi,

You can use a VBscript Custom Action such as the following:

Code: Select all

LaunchSomething("ConsoleApp.exe"),True

Function LaunchSomething(strPath, bWait)
   Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   strCmd = Chr(34) & strPath & Chr(34)
   ret = WshShell.Run(strCmd, 0, bWait)
End Function

Or, if you want to use an EXE or DLL Custom Action (which I would recommend), please see the following article:
