[izpack-users] Passing arguments to executable

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Riaan,
in what config file do you have written the <pack> tag with the subtags?
 
Cheers
 
Klaus

	Hi everybody,
	
	Can anybody help with this? As far as I can tell, the correct
way of doing this would actually be as follows (From the ProcessPanel
docs...):
	
	<pack name="MSDE 2005" id="sqlExpress.package" required="no" 
	                installGroups="Stand Alone (Vista),Network
Server (Vista)"
	                loose="true">
	            <description>The MS SQL Server Express</description>
	                <file src="serverExpress"
targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH"/>
	                <executable 
	
targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/serverExpress/setup.exe" 
	                            stage="postinstall" keep="false"
failure="warn">
	                    <arg> /qb </arg>
	                    <arg> INSTANCENAME=CORETALK </arg>
	                    <arg> ADDLOCAL=ALL </arg>
	                    <arg> SQLAUTOSTART=1 </arg>
	                    <arg> AGTAUTOSTART=1 </arg>
	                    <arg> SECURITYMODE=SQL </arg>
	                    <arg> SAPWD=root </arg>
	                    <arg> DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 </arg>
	                </executable>
	    </pack>        
	
	But this still does not pass any arguments to the setup.exe...
	
	Thanks

		Hi All,
		
		I have the following problem on Windows XP and Windows
Vista (Only ones I've tested):
		
		I declare the SQL Express pack as follows:
		
		<pack name="MSDE 2005" id="sqlExpress.package"
required="no" 
		                installGroups="Stand Alone
(Vista),Network Server (Vista)"
		                loose="true">
		            <description>The MS SQL Server
Express</description>
		                <file src="serverExpress"
targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH"/>
		                <executable 
	
targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/serverExpress/setup.exe" 
		                            stage="postinstall"
keep="false" failure="warn">
		                    <args>
		                        <arg value="/qb" />
		                        <arg
value="INSTANCENAME=CORETALK" />
		                        <arg value="ADDLOCAL=ALL" />
		                        <arg value="SQLAUTOSTART=1" />
		                        <arg value="AGTAUTOSTART=1" />
		                        <arg value="SECURITYMODE=SQL" />
		                        <arg value="SAPWD=root" />
		                        <arg
value="DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0" />
		                    </args>
		                </executable>
		    </pack>
		
		The executable runs fine after installation, but as far
as I can see, The arguments isn't passed to it... Am I doing something
wrong?
		
		If I run the following from the command prompt, it works
as expected (From within the $INSTALL_PATH/serverExpress/ folder ):
		setup /qb INSTANCENAME=CORETALK ADDLOCAL=ALL
SQLAUTOSTART=1 AGTAUTOSTART=1 SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=root
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0.
		
		Thanks in advance
