Thanks, Jason. I looked up
the information in the link but couldn’t find anything that would be
helpful to me. Suppose I want write an
installer wix file that executes app.exe sometime during installation. If
app.exe returns 0 it proceeds with the installation, if it returns 1, it
opens dialog1, and if it returns 2, it opens dialog2. I know how you can
sequence dialogs and custom actions with <InstallUISequence> and
<InstallExecuteSequence> respectively, but I’m not sure how to handle
the case of how to continue sequencing upon different conditions returned by a
call to an .exe file. Any help where I can find a
simple example on this will be much appreciated. Ted From: Jason Swager
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] When
using Return="check", the executable should return zero for success
and non-zero for failure. I don't think there is a way to respond to
different returns - if it fails, your install halts. If it succeeds, the
install continues. If you need to pass information back from the
executable, consider writing a custom action that can modify properties. Hi, I’m still new to Wix, so I’m sorry if my
question may seem rudimentary to you. I’m trying to get Wix to execute an application that
returns a status (i.e. OK or an error code), and have Wix checked on the return
status and perform further action based on the returned status. I used
custom action to execute the application as follow: <CustomAction Id="ApplicationId"
Directory="INSTALLDIR" ExeCommand="app.exe"
Execute="commit" Impersonate="yes"
Return="check"></CustomAction> I’m not sure what the Return value should be (is
“check” correct?). Now how do I check for the returned status
of app.exe and perform further actions? Your quick reply will be much appreciated as I need to get
this done by end of the day. Thanks, Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
