Hi,

I have to run a command line utility from IS (Installscript). It has output to the stdout. How do I 'catch' this output from within the Installshiled?

Thanks in advance

You could redirect the output to a file, like
dir > output.txt
and then read from that file

Hi again,

For some reason it doesn't work with LaunchAppAndWait
Here's the code:

GetSystemInfo ( DATE , nvResult , svResult );
GetSystemInfo ( TIME , nvResult2 , svResult2 );
szProgram = SUPPORTDIR + "CantCMD.exe";
szCmdLine = svResult + " " + svResult2 + " " + svEdit3 + " >output.txt";
LaunchAppAndWait ( szProgram , szCmdLine , LAAW_OPTION_HIDDEN );

After it's executed, there is not output.txt in the SUPPORTDIR or in any other place.
When I run it from cmd with the same path and params, it works.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance...
Nirs

I thnik you need to put this in a cmd file, not on the command line
