How to run .exe files in NSIS successively?

With NSIS I'm creating an installer for a selfmade software suite. This installer needs to run three .exe files.

With 

Exec "Execute1.exe"
Exec "Execute2.exe"
Exec "Execute3.exe"

I run all those files. The problem is all files are running parallel. I want to run the files successively - first Execute1.exe, then Execute2.exe and Execute3.exe at the end.

Solution

  • Use ExecWait instead:

    ExecWait command [user_var(exit code)]

    Execute the specified program and wait for the executed process to quit.

    ExecWait "Execute1.exe"
ExecWait "Execute2.exe"
ExecWait "Execute3.exe"
