How can I execute an .bat file during the installation process?
I have included an .bat file in the installation package.
I want this file to be execute during the installation after files have been copied down but prior to applications being executed.
The batch file gets copied down into the Custom Path directory by the installation package

Using 5.11.2

I have an Run Application entry setup which calls cmd.exe
the Cmd/DOS window launches in the proper path.

I have the command-Line Parameters set to the batch file name XML_Prep.bat.

The "Wait until application finishes" is checked

Path and working directory all point to Custom Path
Run As Normal

However, the batch file does not seem to get fired off.
the DOS window displays and the prompt is at the custom path.
I can do a "dir" and see the batch file within the directory

You don't need to run it by using cmd.exe.
Foк example
Path: INSTALL PATH
Filename: XML_Prep.bat

You can send your .ci project file to info@createinstall.com with 'CreateInstall' subject.
