RuntimeExecute, Windowhandle = 0

Hi there, I made myself a plugin, But when the runtimeexecute function is called the Window parameter is 0, Is there a way to work arround this?

An active window might not be showing then? Also try in a built setup run outside the IDE for more accurate results.

When i run the setup both in- en outside the IDE there is an active setup window. I used a messagebox to diaplay the window handle and in both cases it is 0.

I have also found the $WINDOWHANDLE$ value to be 0. This is a problem when attempting to call the ShowWindow API using Call DLL Function in an effort to minimize the installer. That, and I don't know what to pass the parameter as. An HWND is a struct, but having a $WINDOWHANDLE$ variable would indicate that perhaps it is supposed to be passed as a pointer to double word?

alternative way to find the window handle

If found an alernative

FindWindow('TPoolTemplate','complete caption caption of the window ');

replace ''complete caption caption of the window ' by the caption
probably something like: $project name$ + ' - InstallAware Wizard'

I believe this is fixed in InstallAware 9.
