InstallAware

Hello,

We need to provide an option to open a PDF file at the end of our install and we were going to use the following command to open the PDF:

Run Program $WINDIR$\explorer.exe $TARGETDIR$\Help\quickstartguide.pdf


Is there a better way to open a PDF file from the installer?

Thanks,

Sheri

Dear Sheri,

Generally it's enough to use your approach.

Alternatively and if the the application accepts command line parameters, you could execute the application directly with passing the file-name to open.
In this case you should consult the application vendor documentation to verify the available options.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
