InstallAware

Can I use Run Program command to execute a batch command? I have a Run Program command after Apply Install with the purpose to install and start a Windows service, it doesn't seem to work. [The service and the batch file are installed properly. And manually run the batch works just fine.]

My code looks like:
Run Program $TARGETDIR$\\myServiceFolder\\Install_Start_Service.bat (Wait)

Thanks,

Just a thought as I heard and found out that the current working directory doesn't seem to always be correct with the run program command. Sometimes people have to call a kernel32 function before executing to set the cwd. But as you run a batch, maybe it's enough to insert some lines like that at the front of the batch :

C:
cd "C:\\Program files\\myProg"

Try using Run Program As instead so you can set the working directory.

Thanks, Jim.

The Run Program As command works.

Still not sure why the Run Program command doesn't do the job
