[HELP] Application installation failing

[johny]

I am having some trouble getting my applications to install. I am using the guirunonce method to call my install.cmd file which contains the following:

@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package (x86)
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\\PostInstall\\Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)\\netfx.msi /qb"

Hey johny,

Welcome.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Looks like a syntax problem.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

This works:

explorer %systemdrive%\windows

This does not:

explorer %systemdrive%\\windows

Use just one backslash as a path separator.

[johny]

thx, I noticed the syntx error as well and Im testing now.

Needed Fixes

- DirectX requests liceses agreement & install path @12min. marker

- Sun Java : The system can not find the file Custom=1.

- Installing .NET Framework Version 1.1 hangs indefinetly.

All programs at the point of the .NET framework seem to hang.

1) i noticed that your're not installing framework 1.1 before 2.0 (see your runonceex

2) for java jre the options you are using in syntax are defaults, you just need to run the exe with /s /v/qn

3) for directx you just need to extract the files inside the downloaded exe and run DXSETUP.EXE /silent

maybe you are not installing windows updates with your unattended installation. i suggest you to install them prior to install all kind of programs. this will may affect some programs, specially mucrosoft that requires prior patches for some stuff like directx and frameworks.

hope this helps you.
