run application after AIR install
Hi,

I'm new to NSIS. I started investigating the system based on a post I found for creating an NSIS installer that would check for Adobe Air and install it if it wasn't installed or install a newer version if an older version was installed. This script then launched the an air application installer. I tried this and it worked.

But my client wants to run the AIR application directly from the CD once AIR is installed. I tried ammending the script to launch the exe but it appears that the command to run the exe launches before AIR installation is complete.

I'd be grateful for any help you may be able to give me.

I assume you're using ExecWait to run the AIR installer. And I assume that after that you're using Exec, or something similar, to launch the installed software.

If that is the case, then you probably need to execwait the AIR installer including its child processes. You could try using this: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ExecWait...th_Job_Objects
