Execwait does not wait until completing running setup.exe

Hello

I use execwait to start a mysql setup.exe, but if I do so the next instruction is startet immediately wihtout completing the installation. What did I wrong ?

Thank you in advance for help

This thread should help you:
Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

It's to do with using ExecWait to run another installation program.

Do this,

In the Installation program that is executed...



Function .onInit

WriteINIStr "$TEMP\nsistemp1.tmp"

FunctionEnd



Function .onInstSuccess

Delete "$TEMP\nsistemp1.tmp"

FunctionEnd
In your main program (in the section)



Exec "x:\path\to\setup.exe"

loop:

Sleep 1000

IfFileExists "$TEMP\nsistemp1.tmp" loop

According to the thread KiCHiK pointed to, one can just use the /sms switch if ReneAlpert's installer is a Windows Installer Service installer (i.e. MSI-package).
