Preeti,
Use LaunchAppAndWait() API for installing the applications.

Hello Anitha
I used LaunchAppAndWait and it worked good.
Here is what I did :
=============================================
STRING FIREFOX = "C:\\program files\\ Mozilla\\firefox.exe"
STRING FirefoxAddon = svEnvVar + "\\InfoWare.xpi";
nWait = WAIT;
if (LaunchAppAndWait (FIREFOX, FirefoxAddon, nWait) < 0) then
MessageBox ("Unable to launch Firefox addon.",SEVERE);
endif;
==============================================
However I have to currently give the firefox path hard coded and if in the target system firefox is at some other path this function will fail..
How can I get the installed path of firefox in the target system?
Using findallfiles will not return the full path, I cannot find a function which search a file and gives its full path ? Is there any method to remove this hard coded value ?? other wise the purpose of this installation will fail
Thanks

Hi,
You can include the exe as part of your installer in the supporting file and you just need to specify the path like
SCRDIR^"exe name". This would resolve problem of hardcoding the path.
