Hi,

Stefan Krueger created an Extended Version of LaunchAppAndWait back in 2002 but mentioned in the description:
"InstallShield Professional 7: this version has a new implementation of the LaunchAppAndWait function that is quite similar to LaunchAppEx, so this package is obsolete if you're using Professional version 7"

I'm trying to get a return value from Mircosoft MSDE SCM.exe as I want to find out if a service is running. But LaunchAppAndWait() only returns 0 (SCM will return 1 or -1). How can I get the right return value.

I'm using IS Pro 7.01

If the function is successful and the LAAW_OPTION_WAIT option was specified, the LAAW_PARAMETERS system variable's nLaunchResult member contains the return code of the launched application.
