iss setup

[Jochem]

I made this script but it doesn`t seem too work:

#include <File.au3>
$prog = "Google SketchUp"
$user = "blabla"
$pw = "blabla"
$line1 = "start /wait \\server1\files\sketchup.exe /a /s /sms /f1\\server1\software\files\sketchup.iss"
$logfile = "c:\logs\sketchup"
If $CmdLine[0] < 1 Then
    Switch FileExists($logfile)
        Case False
            $MB = MsgBox(4, $prog , "This will install " & $prog & " on your system?")
            If $MB = 6 Then
                If Not IsAdmin() Then
                RunAsSet($user, @LogonDomain, $pw)
                RunWait('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c '& $line1 &'', '', @SW_HIDE)
                _FileWriteLog($logfile, @ComputerName)
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Case True
            $MB = MsgBox(0, $prog , $prog & " is allready installed on your system")
            If $MB = 6 Then
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
    Exit
EndIf

if i use

$line1 = "\\server1\files\sketchup.exe"

it is working but without the iss.

how can I solve this?

I thougth you had to isolate the \\server1\software\files\sketchup.iss in quotes.

Something like: /f1'\\server1\software\files\sketchup.iss'

I am not sure if it has to be double or single quotes. But you get the idea.

I normally use /s /a /s /sms f1"..." f2"...". Notice the /s to tell the installer to go silent, then the setup exe packaged to go silent after extraction. /s /a /s /sms at least from a HDD.

hi I saw that the runasset isn`t supported anymore so i changed it in:

RunAsWait($user, @LogonDomain, $pw, "",$line1, '', @SW_HIDE)

while compiling I don`t get any error anymore, but is still not working. Is it possible to use dos-commando`s like this within the runasset?

[MHz]

I notice that you are not setting a working directory. Perhaps a rights issue with the working directory. Try using @SystemDir or @tempDir for the working directory parameter of RunAsWait().

[Jochem]

I tried but nothing happens.

Is there maybe an option to show the cmd-promt to see exactly wat is happening?

[MHz]

Try using the /k switch a long with the @sw_show flag.

#include <File.au3>
$prog = "Google SketchUp"
$user = "blabla"
$pw = "blabla"
$line1 = "\\server1\files\sketchup.exe /a /s /sms /f1\\server1\software\files\sketchup.iss"
$logfile = "c:\logs\sketchup"
If $CmdLine[0] < 1 Then
    Switch FileExists($logfile)
        Case False
            $MB = MsgBox(4, $prog , "This will install " & $prog & " on your system?")
            If $MB = 6 Then
                If Not IsAdmin() Then
                RunAsWait($user, @LogonDomain, $pw, '"' & @ComSpec & '" /k ' & $line1, @SystemDir, @SW_SHOW)
                _FileWriteLog($logfile, @ComputerName)
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Case True
            $MB = MsgBox(0, $prog , $prog & " is already installed on your system")
            If $MB = 6 Then
                ; ?
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
    Exit
EndIf

If you do not see the command prompt window then perhaps the log exists or some other thing blocking the execution.

I can see the command promt, but so quickly that I can`t read it.

if I use this variable it is working:

$line1 = '"\\server1\files\sketchup1.exe"'

so my idea is that is should be in the variable I use

A RunAs/RunAsWait process doesn't inherit any network connections from the parent process, so the UNC path to the ISS file wouldn't be available to your setup EXE. In cases like this I've used RunAs to call an AutoIt "wrapper" that would:

• Run DriveMapAdd to establish a network connection so I could access my share
• Run my setup EXE.

[LarryDalooza]

You may want to research InstallShield and UNC ... there may be inherent problems with running certain types of InstallShield packages from a network share. Try mapping the drive first.

[Jochem]

YEAH!! thanks it solved my problem.

I used fileinstall to include the exe file:

FileInstall("sketchup1.exe", @tempdir & "sketchup1.exe")

like this I can run it localy.

the drivemap add is indeed a good idea too
