Question: I have a InstallShield 2010 installed. I want to create a Basic Project, that would be able to install my simple application (single .exe file) to ALLUSERS on the host and also I need is to autostart application on every users log on. What I have to do? What parameters I need to realize my plan?
PS. I`m not planning to create additional dialog in installer. This things must be executed in "invisible mode".
Thank you!
The right answer is to start you application from Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run section in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
So add a shortcut that installs to the Startup folder, or, if you're feeling more evil, a Run key registry entry. The purpose of the dialog is not to do the actual deed, but to give the customer a chance to opt in or out of behavior he may not want. Since it will have to communicate the choice by setting a public property, the silent installation case can be controlled by passing that property on the command line.
