InstallAware

Hi,
I am using install aware version 6.6 and am wondering how I would call a static method in a .net dll that returns a string. I am prompting the user for some database connection information and need that to be encrypted via our encryption routines.

Thanks,

Don

You could pass the parameters to an exe after the dialog to save your connection information.

Or the way we do it is launch a configuration program after install since we do the same thing we encrypt the data in a file on the system.

If you need to cancel the setup because they havn't configured the connection then you can use a return code from the exe to indicate that they cancelled

Having it during install is nicer though

Yeah, that should work. It's not ideal for other reasons, but I can do that. Like you said, it would be nicer if we could call it from the install.

thanks
