This has been answered in the Forum FAQ.

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.

ExecWait does not wait!

I tried this but with no luck
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\sw\setup.exe" _?=$INSTDIR'

my application setup runs but so do the rest of tasks in the installer.

What line where you referring to?

Thanks on your input.

That was indeed the correct line.
What is this setup.exe you are referring to?

Is it an NSIS program, MSI, or InstallShield?

It seems to be InstallShield!

Here is a list of files it comes with:
DISK1.ID
SETUP.EXE
SETUP.INI
SETUP.INS
SETUP.ISS
SETUP.PKG
_INST32I.EX_
_ISDEL.EXE
_SETUP.1
_SETUP.DLL
_SETUP.LIB

I Hope that helps.

I'm sure that others have had your problem before...

Try searching the forum.

Otherwise I could probably knock you up a script that will loop until the InstallShield window has been closed.

Ok, here is your answer (I think!)

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.
