All,

I've a problem with launching installers on Windows2000. We have 3 different installers. One 'ParentInstaller' and two 'childinstallers' who are launched by the parentinstaller.  The 'parentinstaller' is on the foreground when running. When I call one of the childinstallers with the functioncall 'DoInstall', the childinstaller is never launched on the foreground. It is everytime running at the background of the parentinstaller. As user, you have everytime to do ALT-TAB to take a notice of the childinstaller.
I do not know how to manage this problem. I already tried to include to code 'SystemParametersInfo' out of the IS5/6 samples - External Programs and Shell section, but this doesn't work neither. Can anyone help me???

Regards,
Christoph.

Have you tired the following in the parent installer:

Disable(DIALOGCACHE);
Disable(BACKGROUND);
// call child setup
Enable(BACKGROUND);
Enable(DIALOGCACHE);
