Need some help with Exec / ExecWait

[Yovav]

How can I run uninstaller or other .exe file
and hide current installer window until I finish with the new exec... ?

You could execute HideWindow before calling ExecWait to hide the installer, and then use BringToFront afterwards to show the installer again.

I tried it (also the commented stuff)

code:
;  Push ${MUI_TEMP1}

;

;    FindWindow ${MUI_TEMP1} "#32770" 0 $HWNDPARENT

;

;    ShowWindow ${MUI_TEMP1} ${SW_HIDE}

;    SendMessage ${MUI_TEMP1} ${WM_SHOWWINDOW} 0 ${SW_HIDE}



     HideWindow

     ExecWait "$1"

;    ExecShell open "$1"

     BringToFront



;    ShowWindow ${MUI_TEMP1} ${SW_NORMAL}

;    SendMessage ${MUI_TEMP1} ${WM_SHOWWINDOW} 0 ${SW_NORMAL}

;

;  Pop ${MUI_TEMP1}

But still - it shows the called exe (uninstaller.exe) win
but DOES NOT hide the current (setup) window
(maybe it has the same HWND ?)

P.S.
I do it on .onInit

Um, but onInit, the installer dialog won't have shown yet - so how can you hide it?

Well, it will show coz the Exec functions wont wait and show them both
(I know - I'm a special case :-)

Anyway - Good news - I finally managed 2 do it
