Hi,
I have the following script code doing the following

LaunchAppAndWait(JRE_EXE_NAME, commanLineForJRE, LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);

The above works fine and installs the JRE.

LaunchAppAndWait(EXE_FILE_NAME, commandLine, LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);

What is happening is that when the above code is not being executed. I get a message with the following.

[COLOR=red]"Go To the Control Panel Configure System Components and Install"

NOTE: When I execute the same exe from command line passing the command line arguments, it works fine.

Could you one of you point out if there is something that I am doing wrong or is something to do with the system in which I am testing.

Clear your temp folder and try again. I guess there's a setup.exe from some other install left behind in the temp folder.

Also make sure you specify the full path to the setup you are launching.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the information provided, well yes the full path is specified. About the temp folder did you mean windows TEMP folder of WINDOWS or some other TEMP folder. Could you please update me on the same.

Yes I mean the Windows temp folder 8as stored in the %TEMP% environment variable).

Hi Stefan,
No I dont find the file there. Could you let me know what could be the reason. Also please let me know if you need more information from my side.

Hi Stefan,
This is what I am doing, inside the install script. I am installing the JRE in silent mode, then executing a java program after the JRE is installed. And then trying to install some setup.exe file, I am not really sure if the control even goes there, I get the message from Windows that "Go to the Control Panel Configure and Install Programs". Could you please update me on the same.

Could you post the exact and complete text of the error message?

Please delete all files from your TEMP folder and try again. I suspect your setup might be launching some other setup.exe that's left behind in the temp folder.

Not sure if it is available in your version of Installshield, but could you have JRE set as a prerequisite for your setup and installed by the setup.exe bootstrapper?

[murali_s]

Hi,
Not really, Because after the installation of the JRE, in the script I call a java program which is responsible for zipping and unzipping and it works fine. I have attached the error message that I get.

Okay, this really looks like it is starting the Windows XP (operating system) setup. I bet there's something wrong with the path. Be sure to specify the full path to the setup.exe you want to launch. (You can post your LaunchAppAndWait script code if you want us to have a look at it)

It might be wise to change your working directory before you launch the program.
ChangeDirectory (WHEREMYPROGRAMISDIR);
