Executing different .bat files

[s3594753]

Hi guys,

I am new to IS and trying to find the best possible way to execute different files when installing our pruduct.
i.e.
IF previous version of the product is found, run UPDATE.bat

ELSE IF previous version of the product is not found, run NEW.bat

I woulld appreciate if you could provide me with some sample CA, InstallScript or so.

Thanks in advance and appreciate your time...

Kind Regards,

Hi u can use this below function.


function CheckForDotNet2(hMSI)
STRING szSupportDir,SETUP, SETUP_ARGS, szKey;
NUMBER nBytes;
begin
nBytes=256;
MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"SUPPORTDIR",szSupportDir,nBytes);
SETUP = szSupportDir^"dotnetfx2.0.exe";
SETUP_ARGS = "";

RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
szKey="SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP\\v2.0.50727";
if (RegDBKeyExist (szKey) < 0) then
if(LaunchAppAndWait(SETUP,SETUP_ARGS,LAAW_OPTION_WAIT|LAAW_OPTION_HIDDEN) < 0)then
//MessageBox("dotnetfx2 installation NOT sucessfull.",INFORMATION);
else
//MessageBox("dotnetfx2 installation sucessfull.",INFORMATION);
endif;
endif;
end;


Add ur batch files to supportfiles. Then u can execute it based on regisrty checking.

Hope this will resolve ur problem.
