I recently wrote an install shield with Win32::GUI. A nice feature I see of some install shields is the option to "Launch application" after the install is done. It's a nice convinient feature to let the user get down to business without having to click on the app via the start menu or desktop icon.
The problem is that I have yet to find a method for executing a program from a Win32 that doesn't wait for the child to die. I have tried various fork methods as well as Proc methods and Win32::Job and threads. All of these methods require that the parent, or calling program wait until the spawn's program dies. I of course just want to launch the install app and let the user exit the install shield. This has to be doable right? Thank you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
