Archive: Execute dos program that requires input


Execute dos program that requires input
Hello all.

I'm needing to execute an .exe that then prompts the user for different kinds of input. I've tried ExecWait and a bunch of the others, but can't quite figure it out.

What I would like to have happen is NSIS launch openssl.exe and have the command window stay open so that the user can type in the required info (CompanyName, address, etc.) when prompted and then when dos goes back to the prompt have my installer continue to the next step.

I'm guessing this is possible and it's just my NSIS ignorance keeping me from the answer. Thanks.
