Automated install and additional configuration file...

[Tarmo Pikaro]

Hi !

I'm trying to perform silent install with additional parameters, like this:

mysetup.exe" /S:setupvars.ini

where setupvars.ini contains:

[SetupValues]
%AppFolder%=C:\Program Files\Your Product 2


for some reason installation does not goes into custom folder, only to default folder.

I'm using Setup Factory 9.5.3.0, is it possible that there is a bug ?

Can lua scripts customize install so heavily that AppFolder will be ignored ?

[Tarmo Pikaro]

mysetup.exe /S:C:\sbolutepath\setupvars.ini

Apparently does not work with relative paths, only using absolute.

So, I tried to work with absolute and relative paths, both didn't work. Perhaps we talked from different things:
I try to install VC to another directory as %ProgramFiles%, let's say "D:\VC".
How can I do that? I thought I have to add a .ini file

[SetupValues]
%ProgramFilesFolder64%=
D:\VC

or, as described in your email:

[SetupValues]
%AppFolder%=D:\VC

I called it via

KukaSimPro.exe "/S:D:\AzureRepository\setup.ini"

It executes, but the it installs always to "C:\Program Files\KUKA"

If I understood you wrong, I'm very sorry (; Hope we find a good solution!

Please share the project file.

Tested this bit further. Apparenly installing to custom C:\Program Files does works.

However - same approach does not work if you try to install to different drive.

For example I don't seems to have D: drive letter, but I've "managed" to create it using subst command:

C:\Users\User>mkdir ddrive

C:\Users\User>subst D: ddrive

Trying to install to D:\Test1 for example fails.

OnInstallError
e_ErrorMsgID:ERR_DRIVE_NOTEXIST
e_ErrorCode:129

I guess subst is not supported ?

It works fine, as long as the virtual drive (or mapped network drive) is available for the elevated user account as well.
