Question

I have problem with Install-Shield. I create package to install my project and then use JS (JavaScript in Install-Shield) for checking Dotnet frame work and if it isn’t exist install Dotnet. so that JS work perfectly and checking registry and then go for Donet Setup.

Here is HS:

function RunDotNetEXE(hMSI)   

STRING svPath; 

begin     
svPath = SRCDIR^"\\Req";
RegDBSetDefaultRoot (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);    

if (RegDBKeyExist ("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework\\v3.0")!=1) then    
  if (svPath!="") then            
    SdShowMsg ( " file not found ", TRUE );   
        if (LaunchAppAndWait (svPath+"\\net frame work 3.5  sp1\\dotnetfx35.exe","",WAIT) < 0) then
         MessageBox ("error in installing DotNet", SEVERE);
        endif;                                            
    SdShowMsg ( " Some message ", FALSE );   
  endif;  
endif;

end;
