    After Installation Question

    hi guyz,

    pls i've never used any of the deployment software(i.e. InnoSetup and NSIS) and i want to know if there is a way that i can run an exe after the installation, what this exe does is that it erase existing data of the main app in the registry.my reason for this is that end user might not uninstall previous installation of the app before re-installing and i need the app to know if this is a new installation and if this is the first time the app is being run because it needs to create a fresh data in the registry.


    i hope am clear enough


    thanks in adv.

    if you use inno setup, you can actually wipe registry keys as part of the installation, so there is no need to even run an exe to do it...

    the same is probably true for NSIS, but I have only used INNO personally...
