Hi Gary,

what are you asking is, how to launch an exe that installs a required prnter driver within your setup?

Regards

I have a application that was packaged with InstallAware. After running the setup it put an msi file with some other file (Exe file , res file , lib file) in temp directory , looking at the msi file (Orca) the msi just run the exe which was extracted in the temp directory.The msi log file doesnot give much information as the msi runs the exe file.i have somehow found the way to install the software in qb but the problem is after installing the application and then launching the shortcut (Setup utility) the application triggers a preinstall driver package wizard , which i need to cuztomized as per the cumtomer reqirement.



The Drivers are installed from a path in INSTALLDIR with preinst.exe and prnUtils.exe.This exe are trigger when a shortcut is launch .Can someone kindly show me how to do this? Thanks

Hi Gary,

I suoppose to understand what you're trying to do.

In past I had a similar problem, In practice I needed to install a particular system drivers required by my application to run.

Fortunately for me, the installation of this driver, allowes to specify all the desired parameters for a silent installation from a command line. Such as in my case, a serial port, USB or parallel port driver installation.

So I suggest to you, to try to verify through the user guide of the device, if it is allowed or if the installation of these components, provide the possibility to complete the installation using parameters from the command line. Generally this is amply allowed!

Otherwise, you must try to contact the manufacturer support for you device and verify with them your needs.

Finally, to complete the case of my example, I used the InstallAware command "Install/Remove MSI Package", to install the package, specifying the parameters to the command line.

I hope this helps you.

Regards
