Install Shield Express question.

How do you launch another setup.exe program
that may be required for your install.
In my case I want to install Indeo 4.x which
comes with its own exe for installation.
Thanks Bob

The OEM version of ISX as supplied with BCB (1 & 3) does not support
this. You need something called Express Extensions, which
unfortunately is only available in the retail version of ISX.

You are right, but there is a hideous workaround
I have added a directory in the target directory of
Isx express, that I call Disk0. In this directory I have
set my Setup.exe, a little thing that shells  the
Setup of Isx, and the program I need to run.
Then at end of InstallShield installation, I
shell the program I want to run. (to detect the end of
Isx it is necessary to use FindWindow() Api to check
for the presence of Isx). All that is needed is to  ask
the user to launch the program in Disk0 instead of  
Disk1.

Thanks for the clue...
Hideous is doable...
More $$$ is not.
