Need to execute TWO programs after install. can't use .oninitsucess twice
The first I need to run is the MDAC 2.7 libraries.

The second I need run after everything is installed is our program\MDB file. MICAD03.mdb

here is the output.

Function: ".onInstSuccess"
Exec: "MDAC_TYP.EXE" (->)
FunctionEnd
Function: ".onInstSuccess"
Error: Function named ".onInstSuccess" already exists.

I tried to use

Section "MICAD"
exec $INSTDIR/MICAD03.mdb
Sectionend

to do the job but it didn't work either.

any help?

Exec: "runapp2.exe"

Function .onInstSuccess
exec MDAC_TYP.EXE ; Launch MDAC.
exec $SMPROGRAMS\micad_test\micad_test (micad).lnk
FunctionEnd

Function .onInstSuccess
exec MDAC_TYP.EXE ; Launch MDAC.
exec MICAD03.mdb
FunctionEnd

you can use shellExec

ExecShell "open" "[pathto]\mdbfile.mdb"

change open if you want to use an other action like print or something.
