[wpkg-users] Fwd: Refer to Profile in Install command?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I'm forwarding this email, as the author has problems getting it to the 
list:



We use .msi installers to deploy all our internal/production software. 
We have a need to run all our .msi's in several different environments 
with a parameter passed in on the command line that represents the type 
of environment we are installing to. Like this:



Msiexec /i myinstaller.msi /qb TARGET_ENVIRONMENT=QA

Msiexec /i myinstaller.msi /qb TARGET_ENVIRONMENT=DEV

Msiexec /i myinstaller.msi /qb TARGET_ENVIRONMENT=PRODUCTION



My thought was to use different profiles for each type of environment 
and associate them with hosts.



We have hundreds of installers and use a small batch command to run 
through them in groups, but I still need a way to pass in the 
TARGET_ENVIRONMENT setting each time.



Is there a way to refer to a profile name in other sections of WPKG? I'd 
like to be able to do something like this:



Msiexec /i myinstaller.msi /qb TARGET_ENVIRONMENT=$(current.profile)



... so the command can be as generic as possible.



Thanks! Awesome program, by the way!
