Run an external .exe in wizard loop

[tonisa]

Hi,
I'm trying to run an external program within the wizardloop, something like the attached snip01.png, but this doesn't seem to work, no error, nothing happens.
best regards

Hello,

Works fine here. See attached screenshot and demo project:

It launches the CHM without any problem.

Does this help?

Hi Friedrich,
In the "run program" I specified only HH.EXE without giving the "Target Folder", after inserting %WINDIR% as target folder all works fine. Seems your internal used procedure to launch programs doesn't consider the PATH-variable or adds a folder when not specified.
Problem resolved.
best regards
Toni

P.S.: I don't know why this Thread ended in this forum-group. I created it from "Setupbuilder-group", same as my other response to the thread "Helpfile for my installers"; feel free to move to the right group.

Hi Tony,

The ShellExecuteEx Windows API needs a fully qualified pathname in this case, otherwise it can't find HH.EXE.
