Installer only in task manager
Hi,
I have created an installer and it works fine when I either double click it or when I run it from command line. However, when I try to run the installer from the destructor of my application, I can see the installer appear in the task manager but the installer remains hidden, it does not become visible. Can someone please suggest what I am doing wrong as I would really appreciate some help?
Thanks,
Patrick

are you passing the /S option on the command-line (silent mode) ?

Found and fixed now. My C++ code was calling a wrapped up ShellExecuteEx and this implementation had set SW_HIDE. Exposing the variable to allow me to tweak it on the fly fixed everything :)
