Copy file after install MSI file

[tuxmartin]

Hello,

I need to create installer for my users which install OpenVPN client, import user VPN config and RDP connection file.

During setup I need to install OpenVPN-2.5.3-I601-amd64.msi.

But after OpenVPN install I have to copy OVPN config file to OpenVPN directory which path is in registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\config_dir - it points mostly to c:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\ but you never know (drive letter, x86/x64, ...).

So I need:

1) Install OpenVPN-2.5.3-I601-amd64.msi

2) Read registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\config_dir

3) Copy OVPN config file to path read from registry.

I can install MSI file and read registry, but I don't know how to copy file to path from registry. 

There is my ISS file: https://gist.github.com/tuxmartin/1fd653a3f773a55a5596c44dbc990342

How can I do that?

Thanks for help,

Martin

The "Support Functions Reference" section in the documentation lists functions you can use to read data from the registry:

I already used RegQueryStringValue: https://gist.github.com/tuxmartin/1fd653a3f773a55a5596c44dbc990342#file-openvpn_rdp_test-iss-L50-L56

But I don't know how to copy file *after openvpn msi installation to path read from registry*.

I have to run 'RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\OpenVPN', 'config_dir', x)' after 'Filename: "msiexec.exe"; Parameters: "/i ""{tmp}\OpenVPN-2.5.3-I601-amd64.msi"" /qb".....'. How can I do that?

Can you please help me?

Thanks,

MV

You can try using this code instead of : https://gist.github.com/tuxmartin/1fd653a3f773a55a5596c44dbc990342#file-openvpn_rdp_test-iss-L46-L62

[Run]

Filename: "msiexec.exe"; Parameters: "/i ""{tmp}\OpenVPN-2.5.3-I601-amd64.msi"" /qb"; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Description: "OpenVPN client"; Flags: hidewizard waituntilterminated; AfterInstall: MyAfterInstall

[Code]

function GetOpenVpnConfigDir(Param: string): string;

var

  x: string;

begin

  RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\OpenVPN', 'config_dir', x);

  Result := x;  

end;

procedure MyAfterInstall();

begin

  FileCopy(ExpandConstant('{app}\user.ovpn'), AddBackslash(GetOpenVpnConfigDir) + 'user.ovpn', False);

end;

Hi,

I still have the same problem. I used your code in my setup.

https://gist.github.com/tuxmartin/d0e553fe80f200cf804297087e8fdc1d

Everything is OK except copy ovpn file. I got this error https://ctrlv.cz/aW2Q there is setup log in gist too.

What am I doing wrong?
