Hello and welcome to our forums,
First of all, thank you for using Advanced Installer.
The Windows Installer technology uses
Msiexec.exe for installing MSI and MSP packages.
The usual form of a msiexec command is as it follows:
msiexec.exe <install_option> <path_to_package> [package_parameters]
For more information about this, you can have a look at our
"Msiexec.exe Command Line" article.
In what regards the launch process of a "bat" file, you can use our predefined support for "Custom Actions". Custom actions are actions entirely defined by the user. They can be executable files, dynamic linked libraries, Visual Basic scripts or JavaScript files. They can be scheduled at any time during the installation. An installation process consists of two sequences: Installation User Interface Sequence and Installation Execute Sequence.
To launch the .BAT file during the installation process, you can add it as a temporary file in
"Files and Folders" page by using the
"Add Temporary Files" button from the toolbar. After doing so, you can go to
"Custom Actions" page, add a "Launch file" custom action
with sequence by using the
"Add custom action with sequence" button (located to the right side of the custom action name). After doing so, in the "File to launch" field, you can add your earlier added .BAT file like this:
Let me know if that helps!

Kind regards,
