We have an install written in Developer 7 of Installshield using standard project. (i.e. Using install script). As part of installation certain tasks are performed using a batch file. Install used to perform fine under Windows 2000. Recently we tried this on Windows XP and found out that running batch files was proving to be a no-op. In particular, same batch file can be successfully executed during the UI sequence but if it is called during 'execute' sequence it does not work. More specifically, if it is called in the handler defaultfeature_installed it does not work. Similarly during Uninstall it cannot be run in DefaultFeature_Uninstalled or DefaultFeature_Uninstalling. Can someone answeer why it behaves this way on Xp and not on Windows 2000?
Thanks.
