Problem With Installshield

[ATAGA]

Hello, I am doing an instalacion of Windows 2000 with my programs preferred, but I have problems to install programs of type Installshield. It is part of my script:

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)

$d = DriveGetDrive("CDROM")

For $x = 1 to $d[0]

If DriveStatus($d[$x]) = "READY" then

GUICreate(" Instalación y Configuración de Windows 2000 professional",410,60)

GUICtrlCreateLabel(": Microsoft DirectX 9c", 70, 20, 320, 100)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ($d[$x] & "\DRIVERS\DirectX\Icon_1a.icl", 0, 30, 12)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(¨-)

RunWait($d[$x] & "\DRIVERS\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe /silent")

GUICreate(" Instalación y Configuración de Windows 2000 professional",410,60)

GUICtrlCreateLabel(": Panel de Control DirectX", 70, 20, 320, 100)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ($d[$x] & "\DRIVERS\DirectX\Icon_1b.icl", 0, 30, 12)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(800)

RunWait($d[$x] & "\DRIVERS\DirectX\directx.exe /S")

GUICreate(" Instalación y Configuración de Windows 2000 professional",410,60)

GUICtrlCreateLabel(": WinDVD Platinum v7.0 B27.115", 70, 20, 320, 100)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ($d[$x] & "\SOFTWARE\WinDVD\Icon_1.icl", 0, 30, 12)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(800)

RunWait($d[$x] & "\SOFTWARE\WinDVD\Setup.exe -s -a -s -f1" & Chr(1) & $d[$x] & "\SOFTWARE\WinDVD\Setup.iss" & Chr(1))

GUICreate(" Instalación y Configuración de Windows 2000 professional",410,60)

GUICtrlCreateLabel(": Microsoft Office 2000 Premium", 70, 20, 320, 100)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ($d[$x] & "\SOFTWARE\Office2000\Icon_1.icl", 0, 30, 12)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(800)

RunWait($d[$x] & '\SOFTWARE\Office2000\INSTALAR.EXE TRANSFORMS="'&$d[$x]&'\SOFTWARE\Office2000\SILENT.MST" /qn+')

Sleep(90000)

WinClose("Microsoft Office 2000 Premium", "La instalación de Microsoft Office 2000 Premium")

For example, the WinDVD it is an installer of type installshield does not work, on the other hand if I write:

RunWait('E:\WinDVD\Setup.exe /s /f1"E:\WinDVD\Setup.iss"')

But I do not want to install it Hard Disk but from CDROM. Someone can help me?.

InstallShield creates a log file which fails when installed from CD as it is read only. You need to use -f2 switch to create the log file on the HardDrive instead.

RunWait($d[$x] & '\SOFTWARE\WinDVD\Setup.exe -s -a -s -f1"' & $d[$x] & '\SOFTWARE\WinDVD\Setup.iss" -f2"' & @TempDir & '\WinDVD.log"')

Very thanks. Now this if it works, the problem was in which I tried "to read" a file ".log" already created in the CDROM and for which I see one must create it.

The silent install tries to create a log to the cdrom which makes the installer fail. The silent installation log must be written to have the installer succeed.

When you use -f2"Path to HardDrive", it makes the log write to the HardDrive, witch makes the installation successful.
