Hi,everybody.
I am the first time using Installshield.Now,I want to run a batchfile  created by the script without reboot the system.And the batchfile was put in the <TARGETDIR>.
I try the function such as LaunchAppAndWait(),LaunchApp(), but both of them did not work.
While I Write the script like this:
LauchAppAndWait("mybatch.bat","",WAIT);
the setup ignored it .
little helpness,very much thank!

LauchAppAndWait needs the complete path, so instead pass <TARGETDIR> ^ "mybatch.bat" as your first parameter.

I wrote the fully path as you mentioned,and then it works!
You know I am so happy because it is my first program.
Thank you again!

best regards

Hi Husky

can you plzzz.. tell me how you gave parameters in LauchAppAndWait.
How you defined path your bat file

I tried various combination like

TARGETDIR = "c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin";

szPathTomcat = TARGETDIR ^ "/service.bat install service";
if (LongPathToQuote (szPathTomcat, TRUE) < 0) then
WriteLogMsg("First call to LongPathToQuote failed.");
endif;
szPathTomcat = "/C" + szPathTomcat;
_LaunchAppEx("cmd.exe" ,szPathTomcat, WAIT,SW_HIDE,-1,nExit);

cmd.exe gave because I using windows NT 2000 and trying to install tomcat5 as NT service using .bat file

I will be very thankful if help me out as this first program of mine.
