Call external program with popup

Hello,

I would like to call an external app during my installation, preferably during post install. This program will have a pop up and walk through certain configuration choices. I can manually call this through wine (wine myconfigure.exe) using cmd line. When I use the installer to call it, it won't display (popup) anything and installer continue.


OS: Linux Suse 12


snippet:


 <runProgram>
<program>${wine}</program>
<programArguments>myconfigure.exe</programArguments>
</runProgram>

Hi Jake,

Do you mean that the installation continues right after executing it and there is no pop up? Could you check the standard output?

<showInfo text= or ' ${program_stdout} or ' />

<showInfo text= or ' ${program_stderr} or ' />

Regards,

Michiel
