Hi,

What commands are you trying to execute?

Please check out this tutorial (it explains MSIcode):

MSIcode allows you to execute a very large number of commands.
Please see the above tutorial.

Whatever command you are unable to find in MSIcode, you can write in a bat file and invoke that file with the Run Program command.

Hello giaviv, Thanks for reply..
i had already run batch file using Run program. But i don't want to show Command prompt thats why i m Hide Command window. But is it possible to run multiple commands continue with Progressbar ???
Does progressbar catch batch file process.. ???

[giaviv]

No, it does not. As I said, the PROGRESS variable controls the displayed progress, and that's why you are better off using internal commands and advancing the PROGRESS variable yourself..

How to advance a PROGRESS variable ? and which internal command should i used ???

[giaviv]

Set Variable PROGRESS To ....

In other words, use the Set Variable command while the progress dialog is displayed to change the progress bar.

Hello giaviv,

First i had add Batch file in to Run Program and set it to hide and then i had added Progress variable below the run program code in MSI Code. What i had write in MSI Code that is already pointed in attachment.

But it did not work.. Any suggestion ?

[giaviv]

What comes after that code segment? It could be that you are closing the dialog right away and therefore don't see the progress.
Also, which IA version are you running?

Hello giaviv,

I used Install Aware version 11. Which codes comes after the code segment that can be mention in new attachment. If i run current code it displayed dialog with progressbar but problem is that progressbar had blanked and after my batchfile run successfully it appears finish dialog box without fill up progressbar of previous dialog.
