Pardon for me asking what will probably be an obvious question.

How can I launch a web page from a SetupBuilder Script ?

You can use the "Run Program..." script function (see attached screenshot).

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is not working.
Nothing happens when I use the "Run" box using exactly the image you
provided exacpt with a different wab page.
Any typical hints you can provide ?

I have attached a demo .sb7 project.

Friedrich,

Yes that is the identical code that I am using.

When I compile and run your example the web page does not launch.

Have you checked for errors?

Maybe there's a problem of no associated program on the elevated
setup? Just a thought.

The associated program would be Internet Explorer and it works fine in my
Clarion code when I launch a web link.

Does it work if you run it elevated?

If it does not work for you then (IMO) "something" is broken on your
machine.

The ShellExecuteEx Windows API launches the default Web Browser to open the
page. Just for fun, try it on another machine and I am sure it works :)

BTW, do not run the example in TEST mode because the installer does not
execute external programs when running in TEST mode.
