[Solved] How to Stop Application Launch after WPI Silent Install

[hobbitshire]

I have an application that insists on launching after WPI installs it silently. Have found examples that work for other apps but unsure how to adapt it:

Skype Example: msiexec /i SkypeSetup.msi STARTSKYPE=FALSE /qf

My app: "%wpipath%\Install\x86 Downloads\Radio_Downloader-win32.msi" STARTRADIODOWNLOADER=FALSE /qn

Any ideas?

I can post a solution when I am home.

You have to edit the msi (each one is different,) download InstEd and open the installer in that...then delete the RunAfterInstall CustomAction

Solution posted on another forum. In short the following 2 command lines needed to be added within WPI:

{SLEEP} 20

{TASKKILL} radio downloader.exe

Tested and works!

Thanks Kel. Also, thanks to Rick. I may also have a look at your alternative solution at some point - all good stuff.

This thread can now be closed and marked as solved, cheers!

Sorry, hadn't refreshed my web page since yesterday so didn't realise Kel posted on here too.

Anyway, its still resolved :thumbsup_anim:
