View Full Version : How to run a PDF?

How can I run a PDF at the end of the install? The RUN command wants the
location of the program (Adobe reader) but that is an unknown.

I thought the Shellexecute option would pick up the linkage to PDF files but
it doesn't seem to.

thanks

Jane,

OK, WHERE did you say we mail the "appreciation checks!"? :-D

Thanks!

I've got -

RUN Program path\filename.pdf [ShellexecuteEx][Elevated]

Is that how yours reads?

There are two instances in the example I attached to my prior post. Did you
compile it?
Neither is running the PDF elevated.

Hi Mike, this must mean your close to releasing C7 mods. ;-)

Before using "run elevated" I should have tested for Vista.

Also, it seems like the wait option is a must-do

I would not do this. There is no need to wait for the PDF to close.

I included one instance with "wait" and one without.
Both work.

Yes, both should work fine.
