Hello,

I'm experiencing strange behavior with my PyScripter installation using Inno Setup.

I have an `install_exe_if_needed` command with the silent flags `/dir="mydirectory" /verysilent /suppressmsgboxes`.
If I leave it as is, the installer crashes immediately.
If I change it to `/verysilent /suppressmsgboxes /dir="mydirectory"`, it installs in... `c:\suppressmsgboxes`.

I apparently have the latest version of PyScripter.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Could you please check the command line in a cmd.exe window to verify that the settings are working correctly? Your installer might not be behaving according to the innosetup specifications. You can also reuse the line in question in a run() function if needed.

Sincerely,

Denis

Hello,

indeed the command line doesn't work from cmd either.
I'm so used to not having any problems with these installers that I didn't think the issue could be there.

I'll manage to find another solution, thank you.
