Problems after upgrading to Developer 7.03

After upgrading to Develop 7.03 from 7.02 some of the calls to external DLLs started failing.  Specifically, I am using _LaunchAppEx to invoke one of the executables that was installed during one of the Feature OnInstalled events.  

This was working flawlessly in 7.02 but now fails.  The call to the DLL seems to work, but the command it is executing fails.

Any ideas?

Here are some more details on what's going on:

 o My OnFeature_Installed handler invokes one of the installed executables.  

 o The executable is then invoking a Java Virtual Machine.  The JVM is failing to load with an internal error (no additional information is given).  

 o My file browse dialog also fails to initialize since upgrading to 7.03 (call to GetOpenFileNameA in comdlg32.dll).

I noticed in the 7.03 release notes that InstallShield now lets you call InstallScript during non-interactive installations.  This implys that they're invoking the script engine differently.  

Does anyone know if IS changed the way they invoke the script engine and/or if this could be affecting the way a JVM is loaded?

I had other problems in the IDE when I installed 7.0 and patched to 7.03.  The InstallShield solution was to uninstall 7.02 and install 7.03 (full version), getting what appears to be an encryption key for the license key you provide.

Sorry, I no longer have their URL for that download, but I suspect you can find it on their support site. :p
