I am using an Installscript project as a wrapper that runs packages of type basic msi. First, I run setup.exe of one basic msi project. Then, If a specific feature of this project was selected by the user, I run anotehr msi package. (I tried doing it with features prerequisites but seems that there is a bug in ISD 2009 on run from DVD - So I moved to this plan B)
This Plan B works when installing from network,But on installation from DVD, I could see on debug that the installer is not waiting for the first setup.exe to finish and never gets to run the next msi. I tried using the /clone_wait flag when running the first setup.exe, with no success: nResult = LaunchAppAndWait("setup.exe", " /clone_wait /V\"/L*v.......", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT | LAAW_OPTION_SET_BATCH_INSTALL);
Any idea why this is NOT WORKING, and still installation does not wait until setup.exe is finished?
I would like to note that part of the documentations for /clone_wait specify that it can only be used for installscript projects, This is probably why I cannot get it to work on basic msi setup.exe, although I did not get any error when passing clone_wait to my basic msi setup.exe, as specified in teh previous post of this thread. I need to run setp.exe and not msi in order to present splashes to the user on install.
Anyone knows a vaild solution for running setup.exe of basic msi from DVD using launchapplication/launchappandwait/doinstall, Like the /clone_wait flag for setup.exe of installscript projects?
