Summary

Description of nOptions to use when trying to wait for the termination of the clone process

Synopsis

InstallShield 2016 SP1 setup.exe installer can use LAAW_OPTION_WAIT_INCL_CHILD as a parameter for the original setup to wait for the termination of the clone process.

Discussion

For example, if the following code was used previously:

LaunchAppAndWait (EXE, "", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);

When using InstallShield 2016 SP1 modify the code as follows:

LaunchAppAndWait (EXE, "", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT_INCL_CHILD);

Workaround

Use the method LaunchApplication for more options and to better meet requirements.

Additional Information

When LAAW_OPTION_WAIT_INCL_CHILD is used, the function detects and waits for only direct child processes of the launched process ? not for any additional child processes that are launched by child processes of the initially launched process.

In addition please refer to other relevant HelpNet documentation:
