Progmatically know when install is complete

[rbutterwood]

Folks

We are calling setup factory 6.0 as part of our login to make the upgrade seamless to the user. I need to know when setup factory finishes so the software can continue with the login. I've tried tracking the pid, but the intial process dies out and creates another pid, thus making it impossible to track it.

Are there any other solutions out there. We are using Progress 4GL.

TIA

Re: Progmatically know when install is complete

Why not make an action on the "Shutdown" tab that writes out data to a specific file (i.e. "C:\_My_setup_data.txt") and then have your program check for that file or the specific data in the file? The Shutdown actions are not perfromed until the setup is complete.
