MSI Installer : Detect user cancelation for msi script
Hi All,

I am having a small query about the MSI installation,

the below is the function I am using

Function "InstallFalsh9"

DetailPrint "Installing Flash Player Version 9.0.16.0, Please Wait."
SetDetailsPrint none
ExecWait 'MSIEXEC.EXE /i "$EXEDIR\install_flash_player_active_x.msi" /qb- ALLUSERS=2 REBOOT=Suppress"'
SetDetailsPrint both
DetailPrint "Installation For Flash Player Version 9.0.16.0 Complete."

FunctionEnd

I am getting worried If user cancels the installation (msi), how can I detect?

I want somthing like this...


ExecWait 'MSIEXEC.EXE /i "$EXEDIR\install_flash_player_active_x.msi" /qb- ALLUSERS=2 REBOOT=Suppress"'

${If} CanceledByUSer
DetailPrint "Installation aborted."
${Else}
DetailPrint "Installation Complete."
${EndIf}



OR there is a way if you can share

How can I make msi invisible
I tried /qn in place of /qb in the statement below
ExecWait 'MSIEXEC.EXE /i "$EXEDIR\install_flash_player_active_x.msi" /qb- ALLUSERS=2 REBOOT=Suppress"'

but it didn't worked.


Thanks you all guys at NSIS Forum, coz I had learnt many things from your posts in last one week.

Keep Sharing.:)

ExecWait has an extra parameter.
See it in the manual.

Hi Afrow,
Thanks for the help.

I noticed "$0" for the error which we can trap into an execwait command. However the msi I am running didn't returned me anything. my code is as under


ExecWait 'MSIEXEC.EXE /i "$EXEDIR\install_flash_player_active_x.msi" /qb- ALLUSERS=2 REBOOT=Suppress"' $0

Am I making any mistake?

Please help me on the same ASAP.

One more question for the above line, I wany my MSI to fully disapper, while I am installing it. I tried the /qn tag as MSI option instead of /qb but that doesn't run and shows msi error box.

I assume I am clear to you.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
NBaua.

You've got one too many quotes in the command line at the end.
