[izpack-users] batchfile not invoked after installation

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Mika,

Really? Also from an exec started from java?

May be the cmd created by the installation has an other current
dir as a cmd where you go into the dir and call then the batch.
To test it, write
dir/w > c:\temp\myTest.log
in your batch and look where you are with the batch.

In my batch and shell scripts I use an absolute path using
IzPack variables which I declare as parseable; e.g.

set JAVA_HOME=$JDKPath

for you may be it should be

Attention: then you need three entries for the file:

in a file or fileset to install
parseable to revise variables
executeable to execute

If you start the installation from a cmd and define
-DTRACE=TRUE
before -jar like

java -DTRACE=TRUE -jar install.jar

you get some trace informations mainly for executable.

Cheers

Klaus
