Access Runtime
Hi,

I have a problem because I do not know how could I do this?
I have the follow problem.

I want that the Installation install Access Runtime.
I have the Installation of Access Runtime as a *.msi file.

I believe that it could go with the custom functions but I do not know how.

Maybe somebody could write the line for installing Access Runtime.

Could write the line to install a msi package from my Installation because at this article I found nothing to do this

for better understanding:
I want that my Installation install not only my files that it also install Access Runtime

I don't know what "Access Runtime" is but if it's a .MSI, read the section about MSI packages in that page:

The command "msiexec /qb /i ActivePerl.msi" installs ActivePerl.msi - So to do this from NSIS use:

Exec "msiexec /qb /i ActivePerl.msi"

This assumes (more or less) that ActivePerl.msi is in $EXEDIR. You can use a BAT file, File and nsExec if it's somewhere else, maybe something like

File "installperl.bat"
nsExec::ExecToLog '"$INSTDIR\installperl.bat" "$INSTDIR\tools"'

then installperl.bat might be:

cd %1%
start /wait msiexec /qb /i ActivePerl.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress


(REBOOT=ReallySuppress tells it not to reboot).

And this should go with all msi files

I don't quite understand. this should perform an automatic install for any .MSI, if you change the filenames.

Ok thanks but when I make this during the installation a massage come that the file could not found.
What must I do exactly that I could write the whole path.

You should probably include the .msi file in the installer, then extract it to the $TEMP directory, run it and then cleanup.

OK Thanks.

But I have one problem.

On Windows Xp it runs but on Windows 98 msi do not run

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think that you might have to update the Microsoft MSI installer 'runtime' on the 98 PC. I say this because I have noticed that certain MSI installers, e.g. Nero, first update the installer package, reboot and only then install the program and they only do this on win9x PCs.

Yep, I heard about that when I had a Win98. Try to update it, duermer.
