Hi,

how do i configure this in wpi?

the install consists of a 'loader' which invokes the real install. (and seems to prepare something for the 'real' install). the real install can't be started individually

i need to run Setup,exe and then wait for other.exe to complete.


anyone got a clue how to do that ?

regards

You have to create your own silent install file called "setup.iss". You can watch here, how you have to create it (InstallShield section). With this file in the same directory where is the setup.exe, you can call the setup file with the silent switch /sms. Good Luck!

thanks for the info.

but does not work for a brother mfc-7460.

Setup.exe (for selecting language) invokes data\disk1\setup.exe (i guess, using/setting special params/environment), which actually does the install.

starting data\disk1\setup.exe ends in error

regards

Have you tried using something like
{JSCRIPT}=TimedWaitForProgram("Setup.exe",3600)
?
