NSIS ExecWait returns 6 when trying to execute exe

[giddy_guitarist]

Hi I have an annoying problem with NSIS.

I'm trying to write script to install the SaveAsPdfAndXps.exe plugin/addin for Office 2007.

Here is my script:

code:


Section "SaveAsPdf"

     DetailPrint "Installing SaveAsPdfAndXps Extension"

     File 'Prereq\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe'

     ExecWait '$TEMP\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe' $0

     DetailPrint "SaveAsPDFandXPS exit code = $0"

;     Delete '$TEMP\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe'

SectionEnd

So I'm running Windows 7 x64, I already have Office 07 with this extension installed. However, if I run the exe on my own by clicking it and installing it manually it doesn't abort it just installs nicely.

Now the above script, prints out exit code 6!? And the if I comment the Delete bit, I don't see the file in my temp directory? How do I find out whats going on?

The SaveAsPDFandXPS extension outputs a log file in the temp dir. if executed manually, but it doesn't happen with the script.

When the compiled setup executes, it does ask for elevation btw.

Doi! I forgot to add :

SetOutPath '$TEMP'

AFAIK exit code 6 is Error. Whats your instdir?
May you have to specify output dir

code:


Section "SaveAsPdf"

     DetailPrint "Installing SaveAsPdfAndXps Extension"

     SetOutPath $temp

     File 'Prereq\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe'

     ExecWait '$TEMP\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe' $0

     DetailPrint "SaveAsPDFandXPS exit code = $0"

     Delete '$TEMP\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe'

SectionEnd
