Hi my installer installs some ODBC drivers and places some files on the harddrive which then needs to be invoked by the user.

Is there any way i can cause the installer to run the setup.exe during the process of the installation? Ive sene it done with directx during game installation.

Cheers Croaks
 
Hi
Use a custom action and place it just before or just after the InstallFinalize in the ExecuteImmediate section.
You can call installed files or you can call a file from a resource.
