launch an application and continue installation

[abbhishek]

hi

i just wanted to know if it is possible to launch an application (.exe) from a command and then

move to the next item even if the previous application is running.............

i want to use it for launching a video which is converted to an exe such that i would launch the video and then wpi should move to installing the next app even if the video (.exe ) is running...............

That should work. Windows normally balks at running two or more installation processes at the same time and typical .exe files are packaged installers, in my experience. But yours is not, so I don't see a conflict, a la the mshta process and an msiexec process running at the same time. Try it and let us know how it goes.
