Archive: spawn another installer while running NSIS


spawn another installer while running NSIS
I have buit a small windows program using Java. Since I am using Java, I need the user to install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on their system.

Is it possible to set up NSIS so that it installs my program first, and then launches the setup.exe file in the JRE, prompting the user to install the JRE?

The behavior I want is exactly like what happens when you install a multiplayer game. You install the game, and then you are prompted to install Gamespy Arcade while you are still running the first install.

I am new to NSIS, so I am just asking if it is possible and if it is very complex to do this so I can have someplace to start.

Thanks,

Travis


Use ExecWait to execute the other installer. If you find that the NSIS installer doesn't wait for the other installer have a look at:
