Please Help

I have created a VB.exe that will get the local users IP, SubnetMask, Default Gateway.

I want to call my VB exe in Installshield. Is there a way that I can return the IP, Sub, Gateway and pass it back into a variable so that I can use it in my IS???

Please help I need to know tonight

thanks

My only suggestion would be to write that info to a temp file, somewhere static (like c:\networkinfo.ini" or something), and then in your InstallShield script, (if you can do this is IS) open that file and read out the information. I don't know if you can access files with InstallShield scripting, but it's my suggestion. :) If not, how about the registry?

Hope this applies/helps,
John
