Mekrel Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I got a problem, nice guide though the problem is thisIm converting all my WinRAR SFX installers to 7-Zip SFX installer, and im using 7-Zip on some Install Shield installers.One of them is Anti virus Kit 2004 from GData, and I had it installing fine before with the switches i use in the config.txt which is saved with UTF-8 encoding like stated in the guide.;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="Setup.exe -s -f2\"%systemdrive%\avk.log\"";!@InstallEnd@!The setup.iss is in the archive aswell, and being as its ran from %CDROM% variable, it needs to have the avk.log assigned to it too according to the unattended guide made by Allanol.Any ideas?

Rico.JohnnY Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Is it possible to run multiple commands in config.txt?For example, applying reg tweak after running setup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Is it possible to run multiple commands in config.txt?For example, applying reg tweak after running setup.exe<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well for the problem i posted above, I have sorted it using a .cmd file.Seems to you cant run a installer which needs. iss from the config.txt.So to do what you want make a .cmd and include it in the Archive.7zsetup.exe /switch /anotherswitch/wait REGEDIT settings.regThen call the .cmd file from config.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekrel Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Thats for network usage though, anyway i sorted it running it from a batch which aint a biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankE9999 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 With 7Zip the files are extracted to the temp folder, the setup.exe is run and then the files are removed from the temp folder. The SMS option prevents setup.exe from returning before all child process have completed. This way your files aren't deleted until your install finishes.

fluid Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Thanks for the tutorial! For clarification, the exe that I'm gonna put in the config is the setup application that's gonna launch the setup right? For example im mp10setup.exe, there is the setup_wm.exe file inside. That's the exe that I'm gonna put in the config.txt right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
