How to open a webpage when a button is clicked in InstallShield?

Question

Hi

I want to open a web page with the click of a button in any dialog box created in InstallShield. I think it can be created using custom actions, but since I am new to this tool, I have not found the exact way to achieve this. Please help if anyone has an idea for this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

As mentioned above, you can do the following

To open a local html file

LaunchAppAndWait( "explorer.exe", "c:\temp\readme.html", WAIT );

or open a remote site

LaunchAppAndWait( "explorer.exe", "http://www.stackoverflow.com", WAIT );

Hope this helps!
