How can i get an MSI to call a BAT file when installation complete?

Hi,

I never really do any packeting but we got a small app we need to send out, and to register the application we need to run a bat file.

How can i get Wise8 to run a BAT when installation is complete? I know wise can execute a VBS but im terrible with VBscripts so i havnt really got a chance rewriting this.

To clearify: The installation completes without any problems in my test environment, but i need to run this BAT files manualy to register the application every time, I would like to skip this part.

Add this to your WISE script:

(example):
C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /c "%TestDIR%\abc.bat"

change "%TestDIR%\abc.bat" to YOUR bat file!

I dont need anything else in the wise script? I thought i would need a load of headers etc like you do in VBS...
This is why i hate when our packeting guy goes on holiday :)...
