Help! Enable environment variable during installation
Somebody can help the problem that I met.
I use installshield to install the ActiveMQ. At first, I create a system variables(JAVA_HOME) , then I invoked lauchAppAndWait launching a cmd.exe to create a mq broker.
But the windows don't allow same installation program to use new created variable JAVA_HOME .
I have to install it twice to enable this key.
Do you have any ideas to solve the problem ?

Hi @derek_shen ,
- Hope you have followed settings given here as per installation(On Install-set/create) requirement:
- What is the sequence of function you are calling lauchAppAndWait from Install-Execute,which you might see under Custom Actions->Sequence->Execution
- There is a custom action called "WriteEnvironmentStrings" which might be dealing with all the environment variable related settings
- You can keep the custom action you call cmd.exe after WriteEnvironmentStrings action.
Thanks,
Jenifer
