Execute function NEED HELP

[albertamar]

Hi,

I just downloaded Setup Factory and am trying to build my first project. I seem to stumble onto what looks like a simple function call. I try to Execute a file like:
%AppDir%\"Register conduit.bat"
there is no arguments and my working directory is %AppDir%

When I run the setup (built successfully) it gives em the following error:
Error executing file. (#1, Line 1)

I am sure I am doing something wrong but am not sure what.

Could someone please enlighten me.

Thanks

There are a couple things to try:

If your File Execute action looks exactly like you had in your post, the problem is because you have quotes around the filename. Instead try:

%AppDir%\Register conduit.bat


If that doesn't work, you may want to try using an Open Document action.

Thanks, it works. Sorry for the trivial question.

Could you please give me another tidbit of trivial advice:

How do I verify if Palm desktop software is already installed on someone's computer prior to starting my install?

Thanks again in advance

I'm not familiar with any particulars about Palm software, so I can't really give any detailed information.

However some common methods of detection are reading information from the Registry or using a Search for File action to search for a particular file.

I would give those two options a try.
