Installshield questions...
-
Hey guys. I'm using Installshield 6 for VC++ and I was wondering how I could get the installer to run a seperate executable during the install. I need to run an app that has a driver bundled in it. It's a pain, I know, but I have no other recourse. Speaking of drivers, does InstallShield provide a way to install device drivers? Thanks, -Mike Zinni Software Engineer email: mzinni@rimail.com AIM: zin9999

InstallShield installing device drivers? Good luck! We have to do what you are trying to do - call a custom DLL from within InstallShield. We're going to a full custom installer becuase of this (and other issues.) I know it is possible to run an executable or call a DLL from inside InstallShield - try going to the InstallShield website and searching their newsgroups. You may want to write a DLL and launch your EXE from there. No generalization is 100% true. Not even this one.
