[wpkg-users] Problem with consecutive package deployment(ProEngineer)

[Paul McGrath]

Brian,
  I would suggest doing <depends> for the second and third.  This would
mean that version 4 won't install unless 3 exists, and 3 won't install
unless 2 exists.

<package
   id="proengineer3"
   name="Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0"
   revision="2.0"
   reboot="false"
   priority="100">
   <depends package-id="proengineer2" /> 


<package
   id="proengineer4"
   name="Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0"
   revision="2.0"
   reboot="false"
   priority="100">
   <depends package-id="proengineer3" /> 

Test that out.
Paul

deployment(ProEngineer)

Hey all, 

I have an issue when installing 3 packages. I have install packages for
ProEngineer WildFire 2, 3, and 4. On all the Mechanical Engineer seats,
I need to have each of these packages be installed. ProE provides their
own way of doing a silent install, by recording a trail file then
calling it for the silent install. First, I was wondering if anyone has
made a package for these Apps already or has any experience with PTC and
their trailfiles. 

The real Issue is that these 3 installers do not wait for the first one
to finish before starting the next one. Once all the gui options have
been chosen and the installation progress bar initializes (the trail
file finishes), the next ProE installation begins. I want them to wait
until the installation is complete, otherwise there are 3 concurrent
installations and it slows the system and hence the overall length of
the install. Thanks guys, below are my package entries:

<package
   id="proengineer2"
   name="Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0"
   revision="2.0"
   reboot="false"
   priority="100">
 
   <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Pro/ENGINEER Release
Wildfire 2.0 Datecode M280" />
   <install cmd='%Software%\ProE\WildFire2\Disk1of3\setup.exe -uitrail
"%Software%\ProE\WildFire2\Disk1of3\WF2TrailFile.txt"' />
</package>

<package
   id="proengineer3"
   name="Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0"
   revision="3.0"
   reboot="false"
   priority="99">
 
   <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Pro/ENGINEER Release
Wildfire 3.0 Datecode M170" />
   <install cmd='%Software%\ProE\WildFire3\Disk1of3\setup.exe -uitrail
"%Software%\ProE\WildFire3\Disk1of3\WF3TrailFile.txt"' />
</package>

<package
   id="proengineer4"
   name="Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0"
   revision="4.0"
   reboot="false"
   priority="98">
 
   <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Pro/ENGINEER Release
Wildfire 4.0 Datecode M040" />
   <install cmd="%Software%\ProE\WildFire4\Disk1of5\setup.exe -uitrail
%Software%\ProE\WildFire4\Disk1of5\WF4TrailFile.txt" />
</package>
