The InstallShield need to write a log so add this to each line after the -s

-f2"%systemdrive%\\dream.log"

my complete line looks like this

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Grafix\\Dreamweaver\\Setup.exe -s -f2"%systemdrive%\\dream.log"']

this will write the log in the systemdrive C:\ you can batch file them to be deleted in your cleanup.cmd.

you dont have to use the f1 switch if the iss file is in the same directory as the setup.exe

yours would look like this

prog[pn]=['HDD Tool Seagate 4.09.05']

wow,

thanks mate,

it is the same info i read on unattended webpage,

so thank you for "confirming" my thought,

i will try again now, hopefully it works.

i have to say, that i tried some time ago, around wpi 2.9.5,

and i might remember, that it worked that time w/o f2 switch,

but anyway,

i give it a try now,

EDIT:

one question still here:

this

-s -f2"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log"

or this

-s -f2\"%systemdrive%\\HDD_SG.log\"

(backslash before ")

thanks

alex

no backslash before the ", that is the exact code from my dreamweaver and it instals ok.

The f2 switch is only if you are installing from CDROM, if you install from the Hard Drive (eg. $OEM$\Install....) then you dont need to use the f2 switch.

k,

testing now,

thanks mate

alex

I switched to using tried 2.9.8a last night, keep getting this error. Can anyone point me in the right direction here as I have checked the config.js file and the cmd file which I have calling the application, and there's no stray c's in there as far as I can see

cheers

Yea, I had this error.

You get it if you have a blank single quotes in the beginning of a cmd, like so:

cmd2[pn]=['','cmd /c XCOPY "%cdrom%\\Applications\\sysreset\\mirc.ini" "%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\sysreset\" /E /Y']

Fix it by writing this (remove the '',) :

cmd2[pn]=['cmd /c XCOPY "%cdrom%\\Applications\\sysreset\\mirc.ini" "%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\sysreset\" /E /Y']

that's not it m8, been through the script on a " search, only ones in the parameters are in the category for colouring...

it may be ' ' (with a space in between)

I've cracked it m8, I left the 2nd cmd parameter in, it had [''] as it was empty, so I removed and all workin fine now. maybe this could be worked on for the next version as something trivial like that, thought it would just "overlook" it, lol

thanks for your help a06lp, you did indeed set me on the right track

hi again,

seems some applications have worked,

but some still give me a headache...

No prob.

Took me a while to figure out when I had the prob. Glad to help.

I've been following this GUIDE to install Firefox silently. It needs 4 cmd line to install. How can i use 4 cmd lines in my config.js? The below didn't work.

im here to ask the same question

For all my progs that need 4 commands or more I just call a CMD file with WPI.....with those CMD files I also delete unused shortcuts etc..

An good example is the installation of ICQ...the banners are already deleted and my ICQ # with Presets is already installed.

in WPI I call:

prog[pn]=['ICQ Pro 2003b']
desc[pn]=['Weit verbreiteter Messenger. Die Werbefenster werden nach der Installation entfernt.']
cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\Programme\\ICQ\\ICQ.cmd']
dflt[pn]=['no']
cat[pn]=['Utilities']
pn++

and my ICQ.cmd is this:

@echo off

IF EXIST D:\WIN51 set CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\WIN51 set CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\WIN51 set CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\WIN51 set CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\WIN51 set CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\WIN51 set CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\WIN51 set CDROM=J:

ECHO.
ECHO Installiere ICQ 2003b
ECHO Bitte warten...
start /wait %CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\ICQPro2003b.exe /s /a /s /v"/qb"
ECHO.
ECHO Beende ICQ.exe Prozess
taskkill.exe /F /IM icq.exe
ECHO.
ECHO Banner aus ICQ entfernen
copy /Y "%CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\banners.xml" "%programfiles%\ICQ\DataFiles\banners.xml"
copy /Y "%CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\clbanner.xml" "%programfiles%\ICQ\DataFiles\clbanner.xml"
copy /Y "%CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\psearch.xml" "%programfiles%\ICQ\DataFiles\psearch.xml"
copy /Y "%CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\Icq.exe" "%programfiles%\ICQ\icq.exe"
copy /Y "%CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\ICQProLib.dll" "%programfiles%\ICQ\ICQProLib.dll"
ECHO. 
ECHO Konfig installieren
REGEDIT /S "%CDROM%\Install\Programme\ICQ\ICQ.reg"
ECHO.
ECHO System saeubern
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ICQ.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ICQ Shared Files.lnk"
DEL "%ALLUsersProfile%\Startm~1\ICQ.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Startm~1\Programme\ICQ\License Agreement.lnk"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Windows\aod\"
ECHO.

It installs ICQ silently, kills the ICQ process, copies the edited banner files, installs the config per REG file and deletes unused shortcuts and folders.
