Hi,my Batch file does not run the VI. I specify the batch file in the App builder Installer> Advanced dialog Run executable after installation.(See screen shot).Normal behaviour is: (ie the way it has always been for me)1) installer installs LabVIEW exe2) removes back up files3) launches the batch file4) batch file runs, and then closes5) Installer prompts Finished and user closes the installer6) The user then runs the applicationThe problem is the installer is now...1) installer installs labVIEW exe
2) removes back up files3) installer runs labVIEW exe and waits.... (So app in foreground and installer is in background) << Abnormal?4) user closes labVIEW exe
5) Installer continues and launches the batch file
6) batch file runs, and then closes
7) Installer prompts Finished and user closes the installer
8) The user then runs the applicationSo I created a new build file without the batch file1) installer installs exe
2) removes back up files
3) installer runs labVIEW exe and waits.... (So app in foreground and installer is in background)
4) user closes labVIEW exe7) Installer prompts Finished and user closes
8) The user then runs the applicationMy Batch file:@Echo offREMREM *********************************************************************************************REM Installer.BatREMREM 6/3/06REM REM This Bat file is executed after install of LabVIEW software.REM Specify this bat file in Executable on the Advanced installer dialogueREM of the LabVIEW Application Builder.REMREM Prameters / Command Line Arguments: "[INSTALLDIR]" "[SourceDir]" "[ProductName]"REMREM Creates an ini file that hides the Root Window on the task barREM and disables Local Decimal symbol.

I'm a little confused by your question. So after installation, you
are automatically running a batch file that edits the INI file and you
are also running your VI? What actually launches these two
applications? Does the installer launch them both? If you want to
ensure that the execution order is always installer>>batch
file>>VI, then why don't you launch the batch file at the end of
the installer and then launch the VI at the end of the batch file?
