Run executable before installation

Hello all,

 

I need small information. Please help me.

In LabVIEW Installer Window at Advanced settings, we have

  1. Run executable at end of installation
  2. Run executable before uninstallation

 

Is there is any option for “Run executable before installation”?

 

I want to run one LabVIEW exe before installing new software (if Runtime engine is exits in deployment PC).

Please let me know if anyone have idea.

Hi Munna,

 

write a small batch file which calls your "exe before installation" first, followed by setup.exe of your installer…

Best regards,

The NI installers don't give you a lot of control of how things are done.  Let say you want to allow you users to have a minimum, complete, or custom install of tools.  The NI installers don't have that option.

 

In the past when I need more control of how installers run, and their options, I've used a couple of free tools that I've mentioned in the past.  Inno Setup, and the helper program ISTool.

 

Using this method I can make an installer, that runs a different installer first, then runs the NI installer.
