CYGWIN installer curiosity with @SW_SHOW

[cherdeg]

Hey Guys...

$s_CYGWIN_Directory = @HomeDrive & "\cygwin"
$s_CYGWIN_Repository    = $s_CYGWIN_Directory & "\cygwin_mirror"
$s_CYGWIN_Setup = $s_CYGWIN_Repository & "\setup.exe"
$s_cmd = $s_CYGWIN_Setup & " -q -R " & $s_CYGWIN_Directory
$i_Returncode = RunWait($s_cmd, @SW_SHOW)

This code is not able to successfully start CYGWIN's setup.exe; setup.exe will quit with exit code 1. Whithout @SW_SHOW - no problem.

Does anybody have a clue?

Regards,

Chris

$s_CYGWIN_Repository    = $s_CYGWIN_Directory & "\cygwin_mirror"
$s_CYGWIN_Setup = $s_CYGWIN_Repository & "\setup.exe"
$s_cmd = $s_CYGWIN_Setup & " -q -R " & $s_CYGWIN_Directory
$i_Returncode = RunWait($s_cmd, $s_CYGWIN_Directory, @SW_SHOW)

If that doesn't do it then try this one (I'm not sure of the Cygwin setup switches).

$s_CYGWIN_Directory = @HomeDrive & "\cygwin"
$s_CYGWIN_Repository    = $s_CYGWIN_Directory & "\cygwin_mirror"
$s_CYGWIN_Setup = $s_CYGWIN_Repository & "\setup.exe"
$s_cmd = $s_CYGWIN_Setup & " -q -R "
$i_Returncode = RunWait($s_cmd, $s_CYGWIN_Directory, @SW_SHOW)

Hey George,

...thanks!!!

$s_CYGWIN_Directory = @HomeDrive & "\cygwin"
$s_CYGWIN_Repository    = $s_CYGWIN_Directory & "\cygwin_mirror"
$s_CYGWIN_Setup = $s_CYGWIN_Repository & "\setup.exe"
$s_cmd = $s_CYGWIN_Setup & " -q -R "
$i_Returncode = RunWait($s_cmd, $s_CYGWIN_Directory, @SW_SHOW)

That doesn't do it, but you gave me inspiration...this one does:

$s_CYGWIN_Directory = @HomeDrive & "\cygwin"
$s_CYGWIN_Repository    = $s_CYGWIN_Directory & "\cygwin_mirror"
$s_CYGWIN_Setup = $s_CYGWIN_Repository & "\setup.exe"
$s_cmd = $s_CYGWIN_Setup & " -q -R "
$i_Returncode = RunWait($s_cmd & $s_CYGWIN_Directory, $s_CYGWIN_Directory, @SW_HIDE)

Funny, isn't it?

BUT, WTF - WHY???

Me is completely braindead now.

Hi there,

Try and change quotes to ' '

$s_CYGWIN_Directory = @HomeDrive & '\cygwin'
$s_CYGWIN_Repository    = $s_CYGWIN_Directory & '\cygwin_mirror'
$s_CYGWIN_Setup = $s_CYGWIN_Repository & '\setup.exe'
$s_cmd = $s_CYGWIN_Setup & ' -q -R ' & $s_CYGWIN_Directory
$i_Returncode = RunWait($s_cmd, @SW_SHOW)

Good luck m8!

Update :

Look at runwait help... and dont see @SW_SHOW

I think @@_SHOW is the default option!

I'm running beta version!

Cheers

Then the first one I gave you should work because the only real difference is the @SW_ state and that won't stop it from working.
