Launch file (and wait for finish)

[fmh1959]

Hi

We have a number of installers which basically installs a service with a corresponding database.

For the database installation we use SqlPackage.exe which takes a dacpac file and a number of parameters.

The way we have done this so far is that we launch a file InstallDB.cmd with the relevant parameters from the installer.

The problem is that this process sometimes takes a while and the installer is not waiting on this process.
If I add a "pause" in the end of the cmd file - the installer just continues .

So how do we do this in general - having some kind of external process where we need to wait for the finish?

I have attached the picture of our custom action which is calling the InstallDB.cmd - we DO NOT understand the checkmark "Wait for custom action to finish before proceding". What is the function of this if not waiting

Best Regards

Hello,

First of all, I apologize for the delayed reply, but we were quite busy lately.

In what regards your problem, I am not sure why this happens. Could you please send me a copy of the AIP file by e-mail at support at advancedinstaller dot com so I can further investigate this?

All the best,
Catalin

Thank you for contributing to our forum, Rodrigo. It is highly appreciated.

And yes, I suspect this is the case for him as well.

Kind regards,
