[izpack-users] Passing arguments to executable

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Riaan,
I see three possible reasons:
 
1. The exe cannot be executed on the box. IzPack is in the moment not
released for Vista.
 
2. The exe do not work.
 
3. The exe is not on the box; it will not be installed because
loose="true".
 
I have tested it with a cmd instead which writes the params on stdout
and loose="false"..
It works also with the blanked path.
 
Look what the trace gives as stdout, stderr and exit status.
 
------------------------------------------- contents of setup.cmd
-----------------------------------------------
echo %*
------------------------------------------- output from my test is
------------------------------------------------
executeCommand
 params: c:\Program Files\BackBone Technologies\Core-Talk
2006\serverExpress\setup.cmd
 params: \qb
 params: INSTANCENAME=CORETALK
 params: ADDLOCAL=ALL
 params: SQLAUTOSTART=1
 params: AGTAUTOSTART=1
 params: SECURITYMODE=SQL
 params: SAPWD=root
 params: DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
 
stdout:
 
c:\my> echo \qb INSTANCENAME=CORETALK ADDLOCAL=ALL SQLAUTOSTART=1
AGTAUTOSTART=1 SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=root DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 
\qb INSTANCENAME=CORETALK ADDLOCAL=ALL SQLAUTOSTART=1 AGTAUTOSTART=1
SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=root DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
 
stderr:
 
exit status: 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

If this do not help try first a call with the same commandline seen in
the log.
Secound debug...
 
Cheers
 
Klaus

		Hi Riaan,
		I do not know whether your problems can be triggert by
using an inlined install.xml.
		My be writte an external install.xml and refer it in
your IzPack call in the ant script.
		 
		Call the installation in a cmd like
		java -DTRACE=TRUE -jar install.jar
		and look to the output. The call command will be written
on stdout (and much more).

	Hi Klaus,
	
	Trace gives this:
	
	...
	handeling executable file path = c:\Program Files\BackBone
Technologies\Core-Tal
	k 2006\serverExpress\setup.exe
	mainClass = null
	type = 0
	executionStage = 0
	onFailure = 1
	argList: [\qb, INSTANCENAME=CORETALK, ADDLOCAL=ALL,
SQLAUTOSTART=1, AGTAUTOSTART
	=1, SECURITYMODE=SQL, SAPWD=root, DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0]
	        arg: \qb
	        arg: INSTANCENAME=CORETALK
	        arg: ADDLOCAL=ALL
	        arg: SQLAUTOSTART=1
	        arg: AGTAUTOSTART=1
	        arg: SECURITYMODE=SQL
	        arg: SAPWD=root
	        arg: DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
	
	osList = []
	keepFile = false
	
	executeCommand
	        params: c:\Program Files\BackBone Technologies\Core-Talk
2006\serverExpr
	ess\setup.exe
	        params: \qb
	        params: INSTANCENAME=CORETALK
	        params: ADDLOCAL=ALL
	        params: SQLAUTOSTART=1
	        params: AGTAUTOSTART=1
	        params: SECURITYMODE=SQL
	        params: SAPWD=root
	        params: DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
	
	But the params aren't passed to the setup.exe...
	
	Any ideas?
	
	Cheers
	Riaan
