Run Program using batch command issue

[leigh]

I have InstallAware 6 Express version.

I wish to use Run Program command to execute a batch file that starts a couple of Windows services (see below). It doesn't work as I can’t specify a "working directory" with the Run Program command. I understand that the Run Program As command will work but the express version doesn't seem to offer this feature. Are there any other ways that I can do the following with my installation:

1) Register an ocx file (use regsvr32)
2) Execute an msi file (use msiexec)
3) Call Regedit

Many thanks.

You'd be well served by an upgrade to Developer or higher. That way you won't have to do roundabout things like running msiexec - you'll be able to call the (Un)Install MSI Setup plug-in to directly install MSI files and your setup wizard will even capture and display native setup progress of the MSI files you're installing inside your own native progress dialogs!

Sure beats Express.
