Solved it already ... I used wpkg.js /install:acrobat7 from the dos prompt. Obviously %PACKAGES% wasn't set there ... (duh). A feature request: Could the messages used in wpkg.js be put in a seperate file? I translated the messages to dutch and now have to include them manually in every new version of wpkg.js. An included messages file would be nice. If only for the notification messages that are sent to the user. -- Paul ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: strange behavior installing acrobat Date: Wednesday 26 April 2006 08:46 From: Paul Bais <paul.bais at storkspm.com> To: wpkg-users at lists.wpkg.org I've just started using wpkg and am impressed with its configuration and features. Keep up the good work! :) Installing acrobat reader 7 (dutch) with wpkg 0.9.8. As per the instructions in the silent installers section, I downloaded the installer, ran it, and copied the data1.cab and acrobat707nl.msi files to my server. I'm using this package configuration (simplified): <package id="acrobat7" name="Acrobat Reader 7.0.7" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0"> <check type="file" condition="exists" path="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /> <install cmd='msiexec /q /i "\\lx02-file\wpkg\packages\acrobat7\acrobat707nl.msi" allusers=1'> <exit code="1619" /> </install> </package> This works. However, for the rest of my packages I use the %PACKAGES% environment variable (which is set to \\lx02-file\wpkg\packages in wpkg-start.bat). This doesn't work with the configuration above. Running wpkg.js /install:acrobat7 tells me it installs the package, then terminates before the installation is done because the post-install check fails (does the msiexec run in the background?). I've also tried with a condition="uninstall" check with the same result. I'm not sure if this is a bug in wpkg or in the acrobat installer ... Note that exit code 1619 is specific to the dutch version of acrobat installer. -- Paul _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users at lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users |
