LaunchAppAndWait nOptions Parameter When Using InstallShield 2016 SP1

LaunchAppAndWait nOptions Parameter When Using InstallShield 2016 SP1

Summary

Description of nOptions to use when trying to wait for the termination of the clone process

Synopsis

InstallShield 2016 SP1 setup.exe installer can use LAAW_OPTION_WAIT_INCL_CHILD as a parameter for the original setup to wait for the termination of the clone process.

Discussion

For example, if the following code was used previously:
LaunchAppAndWait (EXE, "", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);

When using InstallShield 2016 SP1 modify the code as follows:
LaunchAppAndWait (EXE, "", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT_INCL_CHILD);


Workaround

Use the method LaunchApplication for more options and to better meet requirements.

Additional Information

When LAAW_OPTION_WAIT_INCL_CHILD is used, the function detects and waits for only direct child processes of the launched process ? not for any additional child processes that are launched by child processes of the initially launched process.

In addition please refer to other relevant HelpNet documentation:
