Has anyone run into this problem? I have a Rev standalone that launches an
external installer program using the shell() function. The docs
specifically say that the current handler will pause until the shell returns
its result, but this doesn't seem to be happening under Win98 or Me. Does
anyone have any ideas? My standalone depends on this, and it works fine
under Win 2000/XP. Seems to be a nasty bug. Is there some way I can get
around it?
Instead of making the program freeze till the instalation is completed, can't you wait a couple seconds and then check if it's ready?
You can a recursive send in time to check if the instalation is done, this would work on all systems and IMHO would be a more elegant way to solve the problem.
You could keep checking for the presence of some files, or reading the registry or win.ini (windows still uses this!?).
If indeed this is a nasty bug, by using this method I presented here, you can deal with your problem and forget about the bug!
