Maximize the Web Browser
When the installer finishes I would like to launch a maximized web browser, and have it be the top most...all the functions i've tried so far always show up in the background.

I've used the script that is SUPPOSE to create a new window, but with firefox it just opens a new tab..So i'm thinking that's why it doesn't become active.

I have the function set to trigger on the
.onInstSuccess

Here is the interent window function I call

Function openLinkNewWindow
  Push $3 
  Push $2
  Push $1
  Push $0
  ReadRegStr $0 HKCR "http\shell\open\command" ""
# Get browser path
    DetailPrint $0
  StrCpy $2 '"'
  StrCpy $1 $0 1
  StrCmp $1 $2 +2 # if path is not enclosed in " look for space as final char
    StrCpy $2 ' '
  StrCpy $3 1
  loop:
    StrCpy $1 $0 1 $3
    DetailPrint $1
    StrCmp $1 $2 found
    StrCmp $1 "" found
    IntOp $3 $3 + 1
    Goto loop
 
  found:
    StrCpy $1 $0 $3
    StrCmp $2 " " +2
      StrCpy $1 '$1"'
 
  Pop $0
  Exec '$1 $0'
  Pop $1
  Pop $2
  Pop $3
FunctionEnd

Anyone know one that will maximize the window?

Thanks

nm, I didn't even realize you could use the SW (Show Window) tag parameters with ExecShell

Re: Maximize the Web Browser
Unless I am missing something, why not just do:

ExecShell "open" "http://.. or file://" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED

-N

It appears that Internet Explorer and FireFox ignores the SW values used by ExecShell.
