This action lets you execute a program file (executable file .EXE). This function is useful if you want to launch additional applications or run several Setup programs.
Property Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display | dwWindowState | Defines the state of the program's window. There is a defined set of window states from which you you can choose in the list box. |
Filename | String | Full path to the file you would like to execute. Example: %DESTPATH%\Setup.exe |
Parameters | String | If you would like to pass any command line options to your program. Optional. |
| WaitUntilEnd | Boolean | Defines whether the package has to wait until the end of execution or continue without waiting. |
Notes:
this feature is also available in the Program/Setup Execution panel.
this action does not support opening document files (like text, HTML files...). Click here to go to the "Open a document file" action's help topic.
Exit code for the executed program:
The package automatically sets the variable %PEXITCODE% to the exit code returned by the process. If you know the possible exit codes for the program you run, you can perform some additional actions according to the value of %PEXITCODE%.
Note that %PEXITCODE% is not initialized before the "Execute a program" is executed. It's your job to initialize it if you use it.
