How run existing file

[rema]

Hello,
sorry for my question, I am new with Advanced Installer.
I need build MSI, which only run existing EXE located in path %PROGRAMFILES%\Miktex 2.9\miktex\binfile, with some parameters because of refresh database.
I need run this command: "%PROGRAMFILES%\Miktex 2.9\miktex\bin\initexmf.exe" --admin --update-fndb.
And it has to work on Windows XP (where is Miktex installed in Program Files) and Windows 7 (where is Miktex installed in Program Files (x86).
Thanks for help

Hi and welcome to Advanced Installer forum.

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

In Advanced Installer the [ProgramFilesFolder] property is resolved to "Program Files" folder for 32-bit machines and to "Program Files (x86)" folder 64-bit machines.

Let us know if it helped, otherwise give us more details about your scenario.

Best regards,
Eusebiu

Thanks for reply.

And how can i only execute some existing exe file with parameters?

I need to run this command: C:\PROGRAM FILES\Miktex 2.9\initexmf.exe" --admin --update-fndb

Thanks

Hi,

In order to achieve this you can go in the Custom Actions page and create a "Launch file or open URL" custom action with the following settings:

• Command: "[ProgramFilesFolder]Miktex 2.9\initexmf.exe" --admin --update-fndb
  Execution Time: check the "When the system is being modified (deferred)" radio button
  Execution Options: check all three checkboxes
  Execution Stage Conditions: check only "Install" (if you want this custom action to run only on install)

Best regards,
