Executing installed file

Mon Nov 07, 2005 5:44 pm

I'm currently evaluating Advanced Installer and so far I really like it.

My issue is I'm trying to execute an .exe file after it is installed. The problem is I need to pass that executable some parameters. I've tried several different ways so far but with no luck. Basically I need to run the app like this:

my.exe 1 1 [targetdir] 1 0

The 1's and 0's are switches used by the app itself.

I know I must be missing something, so any help is appreciated.

Hi,

You should use an installed type of custom action. Enter the necessary arguments in the "Command Line" field. Since this is of formatted type you can also use the TARGETDIR value.
