Run Light Mode Setup
This command executes an InstallAware installation that has been built without the InstallAware runtime files. Normally when a setup is built, it contains all the necessary files that bootstrap the installation, display the setup user interface, and drive the installation script, before passing control to Windows Installer that performs the actual installation. The setup.exe program that is generated after a build is one of those runtime files, as well as other support libraries. If you are nesting multiple InstallAware setups within one another, since the master setup already contains the InstallAware runtime, you may exclude the runtime from the nested setups and save disk space and download times. Setting the pre-defined compiler variable NOEXE to TRUE builds light mode setups which exclude the overhead of the runtime. Such setups, despite having an EXE extension, cannot execute directly and must be run using the Run Light Mode Setup command from within a master InstallAware setup.

Parameters
If you would like to specify command line parameters for the installation, enter them here.
Wait for Setup to Finish
If you would like to wait for the spawned light mode setup to finish execution before script execution resumes, check this option.
Return Success State in Variable
If you enter a variable name here, the variable holds the numeric return value from the spawned setup. The return code is normally 0, which indicates successful execution. Notes
- A successfully executed setup does not necessarily indicate that the installation completed - for instance, the user may have cancelled the setup. If you would like to specify custom return values in your setups, use the Terminate with Exit Code command.
- The setup file referenced by the field must be located inside a writable folder. Light mode setups may not be spawned from non-writable media, such as CD or DVD media.
