Summary
The improved behavior of ?Windows Install Launcher Type? in the latest service pack of IA 2011(IA 2011 SP3)Synopsis
This article highlights the improved behavior of ?Windows Install Launcher Type? in the latest service pack of IA 2011(IA 2011 SP3).
Discussion
In IA versions prior to IA 2011 SP3, running the GUI installer built with Console Windows Launcher Type (i.e. selecting ?Console Launcher? in ?Windows Install Launcher Type? setting) opened up a new console window when running the installer by double clicking on the installer launcher. The new console window that opened is unwanted since the installer is running in GUI mode. This behavior has been improved in IA 2011 SP3. Starting with IA 2011 SP3, a Windows installer built with Console Type Launcher no longer opens a new console window while running the installer by double clicking on the installer launcher. Thus with the current behavior introduced in IA 2011 SP3, users who need to build installers that support both Silent and GUI UI modes can now build Console Launcher Type Windows installer. If run in silent mode from command prompt, the installer will wait until the launched process is complete before going to the next command prompt, and if run in GUI mode by double clicking, the unwanted black console window will be suppressed. However, please note that the console window will reappear:
-If Ctrl is pressed when running the installer
-If the installer Default Windows UI Mode is set to ?Console? in Project > Platforms > Windows > Default Windows UI Mode section
