[izpack-users] how to run an Batch File

[Dennis Reil]

Vasanth,

as I told you some days ago, there's a tool called msiexec.exe which
will be used to trigger the installation of an .msi-file. So all you
have to do is to execute msiexec /i PATH_TO_MSIFILE. This can be done
with the Processpanel.

 

<processing>

   <job name="installmsi">

       <os family="windows"/>   

       <executefile name="msiexec.exe">

      <arg>/i</arg>

      <arg>abc.msi</arg>

 </executefile>

  </job>

</processing>

 

 

Regards, 

 

   Dennis

hey panner, 

 

thanks for the reply man . me too following the same doc that u've sent
me. now this is some real problem i guess. 

 

my batch file has "abc.msi" file in it. when i try to execute the batch
file, the installation of MSi file should be triggered - this is my
requirement.

 

the reason y 've gone for batch file is i dont know how to trigger the
installation of MSI file. i've posted the same in the forum, but no
help.

hi vasanth,

try to execute the batch file seperatly to avoid any error may be
there in batch file.(testing). 
and avoid using "\" ...
use "/" or "\\".

sample coding...........................

<packs>
<!-- The core files -->
<pack name="Core" required="yes"> 
<description>The IzPack core files.</description>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="bin"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="lib"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="legal"/> 
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="Readme.txt"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="Versions.txt"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src=" Thanks.txt"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/izpack-fe"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/izpack-fe.bat"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/compile"/> 
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/compile.bat"/>
<executable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/compile" stage="never"/>
<executable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/izpack-fe" stage="never"/> 
</pack>
<!-- The documentation (1 directory) -->
<pack name="Documentation" required="no">
