I looked up the installshield KB on this topic and the code is fairly old and not very good (http://support.insta...ticleid=q105947). After fixing it up, I still get warnings from the compiler. Anyone have an updated script example for this?

Thank you,

prototype HWND Shell32.ShellExecuteA( HWND, BYREF STRING, BYREF STRING, BYREF STRING, BYREF STRING, int);
prototype MyFunction();

function MyFunction()

STRING szOperation, szFileName, szParameters, szDirectory;

begin

szOperation = "open";
szFileName = "mailto:xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.com?subject=Pong!";
szParameters = "";
szDirectory = "";
ShellExecuteA(NULL, szOperation, szFileName, szParameters, szDirectory, SW_SHOW );

end;

and what's updated in this example?

daitaku: what compiler warnings do you get?

Compared with the InstallShield example, the updates are that I have added one string value to the definition of "prototype HWND Shell32.ShellExecuteA( HWND, BYREF STRING, BYREF STRING, BYREF STRING, BYREF STRING, int);". In the Installshield example there was only 3 string values which resulted in compilation error. -> ShellExecuteA(NULL, szOperation, szFileName, szParameters, szDirectory, SW_SHOW );

I also changed the string values to BYREF STRING to get rid of compilation warnings.
