Archive: Is it possible to use ExecWait without launching a DOS window?


Is it possible to use ExecWait without launching a DOS window?
In the installer I have to launch a lot of external processes (installutil.exe, gacutil.exe, NET STOP, NET START, etc.).

Every single one of them pops up that ugly DOS window which makes the installer look rather unprofessional.

Is there a way to launch a DOS process and just re-direct its output to the output window in NSIS instead of having the DOS window pop up?

If not, can I make that an enhancement request to the dev team? :D


1. Start Menu->Programs->NSIS->Contrib->nsExec Readme
2. ExecDos plug-in (put dll to Program Files\NSIS\Plugins folder).


THANK YOU!

Amazing plugin...my last reason to ever consider InstallShield is gone :-)
