I created a setup.exe for my project using Install-shield Limited for visual studio 2015. I was able to run it silently with this command line:
Setup.exe /s /v/qb
It works fine. Now I want to run the installed application after completing the installation. How can I do it?
(I prefer to add something to the above command-line to do this).
EDIT: There is another question like mine. That question wants to run application after installation too. but my question is to run after silent installation (using command-line) and the other question is to run after a normal installation by user. I tried the answers of that question before and they don't work in my case.
Thank you to @Michael-Urman I found the answer:
I should use the batch command executing. You can execute more than one command by using & symbol (or &&).
But I need to run setup first completely then run the program. So I used start /wait command.
The final command was this:
start /wait setup.exe /w /s /v/qb && "C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\Product\program.exe"
/wait suspends cmd until setup finishes then runs next command.
/w keeps setup.exe alive until msi package installs successfully.
/s installs the program silently and /v passes arguments to msi installer (see documentation).
/qb shows basic UI of msi installer. (see documentation).
&& (in comparison with &) runs 2nd command if 1st command runs successfully.
