I'm very new to installers, and looking at some code I'm just confused about what certain calls to functions do. I'm also wondering where these functions reside. If anybody knows a good reference online I can look at to figure these functions out, that'd be great! Something like the sun's java api.

CODE
prototype BOOL kernel32.CreateProcessA(POINTER, BYVAL STRING, POINTER,
              POINTER, BOOL, NUMBER, POINTER, POINTER, POINTER,
              POINTER);
    prototype BOOL kernel32.GetExitCodeProcess(NUMBER, POINTER);
    prototype NUMBER kernel32.WaitForSingleObject(NUMBER, NUMBER);
    prototype NUMBER kernel32.CloseHandle( NUMBER );


Where do I figure out what the kernal32.x() functions are?

Thanks in advance biggrin.gif

That kernel32 stuff is all system levels that you get with Windows.

Therefore, to learn more about them, check Microsoft's MSDN Library and do a search for the function. You can also click here to jump straight to the Windows API section.
