Setting MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN dynamically?

cowwoc · 24th June 2005, 17:28

Hi,

I need to set MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN dynamically during runtime (whereas by default it is a !define) because the cmdline needs to be defined as:

<path_to_jre>/bin/javaws.exe myApplicationURL.jnlp

I have the ability to determine <path_to_jre> during runtime, but how do I set MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN accordingly? Is it even possible?

Thanks,
Gili

Use MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_FUNCTION or set MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN with a variable and then change that variable before the finish page shows.

Oh! That's great! Thank you!

BTW: I noticed that if I use nsExec::Exec inside the function, then the installer will "hang" of sorts. That is, you get to the last panel where it says "Run <application name>?" which is checked, you click on FINISH and nothing happens... It doesn't close the panel and you can click FINISH for as long as you want but it won't close. You are forced to abort the installation.

Switching to ShellExec worked. I'm just curious why nsExec::Exec is dieing here...?

It probably isn't dying but simply waiting for the process to finish.

Except the process is never launched. The exact same process that works in ShellExec "hangs" under nsExec. Odd.

Do you think that maybe at this stage nsExec and other contrib modules are no longer available or something?

Nevermind, it doesn't really matter. I realized I don't really want to wait on the process anyway. Thanks for all your help!

There's nothing that's stopping nsExec from running in there. I've created a test script that runs makensis.exe there and it worked fine. Can you attach an example, not using java?

Well, don't want to open a new Topic when there's already one on going already

I want to make also a MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN but it should run the application were the path of the .exe is stored in the register

Example
HCKU "SOftware\BioDuo" "C:\BioDuo\BioDuo.exe"

But how do I do this?

Use MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_FUNCTION...

code:
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_FUNCTION finishFunc

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT "Run BioDuo"



Function finishFunc

 ReadRegStr $R0 HKCU "Software\BioDuo" "BioDuo"

 Exec $R0

FunctionEnd
