problems with ExecWait.
Hi,
I am using ExecWait to install third party software. However I encounter the following two problems.

1. ExecWait does not wait for the third party software installation to complete.

2. I want to embedd the third party install software in my SetUp.exe file so that the it(third party software) cannot be installed seperately by anyone.

How do I achieve these ?

Jatin.


The executed installer probably extracts another installer and executes it without waiting for it. You can use Unattended resources to find out how to make it wait for the other installer. For example, InstallShield waits if you pass /SMS on the command line.


Thanks very much for the reply. I was also expecting some help regarding my second problem. How do I embed the third party software installer in my generated SetUp.exe ?


With File.


I still can't figure out how to make installer wait until ExecWait finishes its installation. I am trying to install following three software from my installer.

1. MYSQL Database (Setup.exe)
2. MYSQL GUI TOOLS (mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r9a-win32.msi)
3. MYSQL ODBC Connector (SetUp.exe)

regards,
Jatin.


Can anyone please help me with the above probem. I am stuck at it.

regards,
Jatin.


All the information you need is in Unattended. Follow their instruction of installer identification and then the flags specification to figure out how to make installers wait.
