[Launching a program and leaving it open...]

Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

Will play around a little bit to create all my installations

Thanks guys,

I actually like a certain degree of control over my installations, so I'm not shooting for a totally unattended install, but I'll definitely look both into AutoIt and VBScript

BritishBulldog, could you give a sample of code?

OK, solved it myself...

Yesterday I was probably too hammered by partying to find a viable solution

I entered the following 2 lines:

cmd /C start /d"%cdrom%\APPS_DRIVERS\Apps" notepad Serial.txt

"%cdrom%\APPS_DRIVERS\Apps\Setup.exe"

Thats's it - pretty obvious... today

[Launching a program and leaving it open...]

Hi everybody!

First of all, WPI rocks!! I discovered it just a few days ago, and it's just what I've been looking for!

Anyway, I've got a question...

Is it possible in the list of commands for a program to have something launched and left open while another program is run? The default behaviour is to wait for program #1 to close, then launch program #2. I would need program #1 running while program #2 launches.

It would be useful for programs which require a serial number but don't save the information clearly in the registry. I would open a notepad window with the serial number and simultaneously the installation of the program. Then, when asked for the serial, I would just Alt-Tab to Notepad, copy and paste it.

Is it possible with WPI? Is there any way to trick the program into doing it?

Thanks everybody, and have a wonderful New Year!!

Ciao,

Ema.
