custom action embedded vbscript problem?
I have an embedded vbscript (displayed below) running at the top of Execute Immediate.
If Not Installed then
| Call VBScript From Embedded Code (Action)
End
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Embedded VBScript:
On Error Resume NExt
Dim objShell, objNewPort, objWMIService, oFSO, Path, strComputerA
Dim RunErrorToReturn, Results
Dim strComputer : strComputer = "."
Dim objNetwork : Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputerA = objNetwork.ComputerName
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:"& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ProgramFiles = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ProgramFiles%")
windir= objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%")
temp = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%")
allusers=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%AllUsersProfile%")
path= oFSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
objShell.Run ("RunDll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b ""HP LaserJet III"" /f "+windir+"\inf\ntprint.inf /r ""lpt1:"" /m ""HP LaserJet III""")
On Error Resume Next

The problem is this printer is installing not fast enough and the fax printer driver trys to install but can't because the above printer driver wasn't installed in time.
How do I make it where the above embedded script is a mandatory install before the Fax printer driver?

Surely any sane person has LaserJet printer drivers as part of their base build? If not, I'd build a package to install at least one (and probably not an antique like LJ III).
The problem with scripted installs is that many people assume they know what they're doing (no offence). If you don't want to go to thr trouble of building a proper package for LJ drivers, you should create a more professional script, one which uses WMI to create a process, capture the process ID and wait for that process to end before progressing to install your fax driver.

VBScab,
Could you post a better script for me to use? I am using LJ III drivers because that is what works with RightFax 8 as a pre-req.

So you're asking someone to write a script for you. I hope that you're willing to pay them for it.
Just before the custom action 'Create_RFPrinter_CA' in the Execute Deferred sequence, add an action to Execute Program From Destination and run the following command line
cmd.exe /c rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "HP LaserJet 4" /h "Intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf /q
Set you CA to 'Syncronous, Ignore Exit Code' and this will wait until the CA has completed before continuing with the rest of you installation.
Try using the help file in you packaging software, you'll be amazed at what you can learn from it.
