Starting an install
#1
Hello all,
I have taken over for someone who left our company. I have Quick Macros installed and I have edited an existing project (Macro).
The Macro assists in an applications update. Here is what it does:
1 Kills the app
2 stops IIS
3 copies new files into Virtual directories
4 starts IIS
5 starts app

I have an install shield Basic MSI service install. (MSDSS.exe)
I have tried to fire the setup.exe directly and via a .bat file.
if(dir("C:\EEMS\Update\MSDSS.exe"))
run "C:\EEMS\Update\MSDSS.bat" "" "" "" 16|0x10400; err ret

Both methods work from inside Quick Macros when I run it from the tool bar.
However once i build the Macro .exe, it will not fire the install when executed outside of Quick Macros.
The other steps 1-4 work as expected.

I have noticed that step 5 does not allways happen either. it is another .exe call.
run "$program files$\EEMS\EEMS.EXE" "" "" "" 16|0x10100; err ret

what am I missing?
