Install an application on click Next

Hi,

I need to install Firebird application. In my application 2 features available(console, server). For server feature, firebird need to install. When i select server feature, then click next button, at that time firebird will install. Is there any option for install an exe application through "Execute Custom Action"? (We tried the Script Inline function for Display message box)

Re: Install an application on click Next

HI,

Thanks for your reply.

If we install the Firebird application in Wizard Dialog Stage(before the dialog start up), firebird installation was fine. But, we need to install the firebird based on feature selection(Customize Dlg). So, we tried to install the Firebird application in Install Execution Stage, in all machines firebird installation was fine, but only windows 7 machines have some installation error.

We require to install the firebird based on the feature selection(Customize Dlg). If we select the feature 2 , firebird need to install.

How to install the firebird application after the feature selection(Customize Dlg) and before the Install Execution Stage?

Please help us.

Thanks,
Raja

Hello Raja,

In order to achieve what you want you can proceed like this:
- Go to "Files and Folders" page and add your Firebird application file as a temporary file to your project.
- Go to "Custom Actions" page and add a "Launch file or open URL" (i.e. MyApp) custom action without sequence like this:
  • Command: "[&FirebirdAPP]"
- Go to "Dialogs" page, select the "VerifyReadyDlg" dialog and on [Install] button add a published event like this:
  • Name: Execute custom action
    Argument: MyApp
    Condition: &MyFeature2Identifier = 3
Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
