Install two third party exe's with labview 8 install file

[Mark Mutton]

I am trying to install two thrid party drivers onto a deployment machine. I am using labview 8.0 and am deploying the application on a XP machine. The program was developed on a XP machine so that is not an issue.  I have created a batch file that works fine when run after the install by itself, but when i include it in the installer properties--advanced--launch exe after install it runs the batch file but doesn't install the drivers.  I tried using a dummy batch file that waits then calls the batch file containing the paths for the drivers to install but that didn't work either.  Urgent help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark,

I found two KBs that talk about launching an exe with an installer as well as how to create a simple batch file.

How Do I Make My LabVIEW-built Installer Run an Executable After Installation?

Creating a Batch File


Hope this helps.
