I'm really stuck

[JohnA]

Hi,

I've created an installer which works fine, it installs my files where I want them etc. However I now need 2 options after it's copied files to hard drive from cd from setup.exe.

I have 2 checkboxes added (just about in my range of skill) but I have no idea how to tell them what to do.

One of them if checked after next is pressed must do the following:
1. Copy all files from the cd's (not from the setup.exe, these are gonna be plain files on the cd) X:\Options\Scripting dir and copy them to appdir.
2. Place shortuts on the startmenu.

The other if checked after next is pressed has to do this:
1. Run program stored on cd at and with options:
\Options\Extract\dbunpack.exe -e appdir\data.dat
2. I'd like it to wait until dbunpack has done its job before the user can click finish.

I'm really suck here, any help would be great.

Thanks

Re: I'm really stuck

In the checkbox screen there is a variable associated with each checkbox. For example by default the first entry is called "Option 1" and the variable is %CheckBox1%. So if you wanted to do something if that checkbox is checked you would:

On the "After" tab of that screen you would put:

IF (%CheckBox1% = TRUE)
...
...
..
END IF

All actions inside this IF block will be executed when the first checkbox is checked.

I hope this helps.
