folder strangely launches at the end of install
at the end of the install, a folder is unexpectedly launching...in this case the $TEMP folder
anything obvious that may cause that to happen ?

I have narrowed it down to this:
execWait "$TEMP\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe"

Is there another variable I can pass to ExecWait that ensures the TEMP folder does not launch?
do they call you Lobo or Lunar, BTW ?

Maybe the file QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe in $TEMP doesn't there...

PS: they call me Lobo Lunar but sometimes just Lobo :D

QuickTimeFullInstaller is executing from the $TEMP folder....so ExecWait it is finding the .exe. After the QuickTimeFullInstaller .exe is finished , the $TEMP Folder Launches unexpectedly. anyone know what causes this or how can stop the folder from opening ?

many thanks Lobo

Maybe it's the QuickTime installer that opens the folder. Try executing some other executable.

actually, I had not thought of that
good point...
I'll check that...
in case the Quicktime installer is launching the folder, is there a command within NSIS I can give to close it ?
