Add/Remove Programs freeze after Uninstall
hi every1,

at the end of mu Uninstaller i execute IE using Exec command.
the Add/Remove Programs freezes until i close the IE Window.
I Tried to replace the Exec with ExecShell - still don't work,

any suggestions?

thanks,

Windows XP's Add/Remove control panel waits for every subprocess of the uninstaller too. As far as I know, you can't execute anything from the uninstaller without hanging the Add/Remove control panel. Maybe executing at.exe to schedule a one time run of an application will help, but at.exe is not available on all earlier versions of Windows.

Create a remote thread in the arp process ;) but that is one ugly hack just to launch a url
