How to launch 2 programs at the same time ?

[wiloo]

Hi,

i ask here because i haven't find the answer in the user manual or in this forum.

Here's my question : is it possible to launch 2 different programs for the same install (the first staying launched during the execution of the second), or to open a text file (containing a serial number for example) before launching the setup program of an application ?

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

cmd /c start program.exe

This will start the program and move to the next command before it ends.

Thank you sadicq !

What exactly are you tring to do? If you are trying to read a serial number, as in your example, there are better ways to do this. The advice @sadicq mentioned will work, but the problem there is that another application can start installing before the current one finishes.

If you can explain exactly what you are trying to do, there may be a better solution than running two commands at once.

No it's not to launch 2 installations at the same time, but some little executables which are useful to complete the installation of applications asking numbers i don't know

That's not too bad of an idea. I made a note of it. I have a pretty good idea of how I will do it, too...........

The command that sadicq gave me works well but it'll be useful to add a special field in the form to do that... i don't know

Anyway, thanks for your work guy !

edit : sorry sadicq

Edit your post as soon as possible because we are not allowed to talk about that on this board, unless you want a ban ...

We are all aware that people use such things, but it's simply not possible to talk about them here.
