Diskeeper executes but doesnt install

[prathapml]

The reason is because of the "star" character in your switch (you used the /l* switch). Its quite painful to not get something to work even after struggling with it a long time. Just use the steps below, it will DEFINITELY work if you do it exactly as below:

1. Run the initial Setup EXE (not the MSI) this way:

dk8setup.exe /A

from a command prompt window.

2. Now it will start the setup, and ask "which network drive to install server image to". Just choose the path as "C:\dk8".

3. The file-copying will complete, but it has not been installed in the above step.

4. Copy away the "C:\dk8" folder to somewhere else, or onto the "$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\" folder on your CD.

5. Now, rename the file "Diskeeper Professional Edition.msi" to "dkpro.msi" (that file can now be found in the "$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\dk8\" folder).

6. Run this command through your batch-files to install during setup:

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\dk8\dkpro.msi /QB

Of course, test the final stage once on your normal installed windows atleast once - to confirm that it will work when doing the same unattended.

Hoping this helps....

Of cuourse you can use quotes in bat file....just add the quotes around the file name...not the full path..

i.e.

start c:\DiskKeeper\"dk8 setup.exe"

is the right..while

start "c:\DiskKeeper\dk8 setup.exe"

isn't
