Installer Headache

TartanMonkey · 16th March 2004, 10:32

Hi there,

I have searched the forums and the Archive, but I haven't been able to find the info that I require.

I need to install an exe during my install. Now I know that I can include the exe in the installer in a Section, but I want to be able to start the exe running from the oninit callback. Is this possible? Can I call a section from the onint? I do not want the installer to start up until this extra bit of software is installed.

The Commands for extracting Files and executing them are valid in Function .OnInit too.

Therefore i would suggest you check if the extra software is already installed and if not use the usual commands (File, SetOutPath, Exec, Execwait)
