The [Run] Page



The [Run] page consists of two identical parts, the top one relating to files which you want to run once installation is complete, the other to files which are to be run before uninstallation starts.

The [Run] Page (top half)

Enter the name and location of the file which is to be run in the Program field. All the files which you have included in your installation are available from the dropdown list of this field. The location will normally be by means of a Directory Constant.

In the Parameters field put any parameters which the program may require. The Working Directory field is used to specify the directory in which the program should start.

Options

The No wait option will allow installation or uninstallation to proceed without waiting for the specified program to complete.

The Wait until idle option causes installation or uninstallation of the selected program to wait until the computer is idle and waiting for input. This option is only available for 32-bit applications and cannot be combined with the No wait flag.

Normally the filename specified in this section must be an .exe or .com application file. If the Run using default app. option is set, any type of file may be used, and it will be run using the user's default application for that file type.

By using the Min. Windows Ver. and Only if Below Ver. fields you can set limits to the Windows version under which the program will run.

Add and delete files from the grid in the usual way using the Add and Delete buttons. Edit an entry by double-clicking it in the grid.
