[izpack-devel] I have a problem in executing a *.bat file

[Klaus Bartz]

Hi Vali (?)
normaly the simplest way is to use <executable> with
$INSTALL_PATH. You have done it. May be something is wrong in
the dclaration, serfore please send your installatn description file
(often called install.xml)

Cheers

Klaus
