Rif.: Pre-installation and post-installation commands

[vix]

Is there a way to specify a list of pre and/or post-installation actions for a Distribution Kit created with CVI?

Before upgrading a program called 'B', I need closing an application called 'A', that must be re-launched after 'B' upgrade has been completed.

How can I get this result?

Hi!
Is it possible to perform only pos-intallation actions.
You can find more infos here:

The link in your post refers to CVI 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1.

I've been using CVI 2009 SP1, so I read this document but it doesn't refer to launching post-installation executable.

Other ideas?

This is from the document you referred to:

Launching a File after Installation—To launch a file automatically after installation, right-click the file in the Installation Files & Directories browser in the Files tab, select File Options, and enable the Launch After Installation option. The application is launched with the application associated with its file type on the target computer.

I've completely missed because I've been looking into "Advanced Settings" section.

Could you confirm that there is no way to perform some pre-installation actions? (Typical situation: close another application that is running on the target PC)

Hi Vix!

Why don't you create your own batch file that performs the required operations?

Bye!
