detecting exit code
I was trying to detect errors with some customized programs called in the InstallScript of my INstallScriptMSI project. In my "testError.exe" program, I flagged the exitcode to 1 or 0 respectively when encountered errors.

 

I use the following IS function:

 

nResult = LaunchAppAndWait(SUPPORTDIR ^ "testError.exe", "", WAIT);

 

But I soon found out that this function always return 0 no matter what was returned by testError.exe. And apparently all [FONT="Courier New"]LaunchApp() [/FONT]related functions would do the same.

 

So, is there a way to retrieve the exit value of testError.exe with a InstallScript function, or any other way?

  • The return value of LaunchAppAndWait (or LaunchApplication) indicates only that the application was launched successfully.

     

    To retrieve the return value of the launched application evaluate:

     

    LAAW_PARAMETERS.nLaunchResult

     

    (if LAAW_OPTION_WAIT option was specified)
