InstallAware

Firstly we have InstallAware Studio Admin version at my company (ifs)

I have created and batch file(please see below) which checks whether the system is 32bit or 64bit then installs the relevant msi with answer file. i would like to wrap this all up into one EXE or msi and make it available for my users to download.

My question.

can this be done with InstallAware Studio admin?
and is it easy to do?

Batch file script:

if %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 (
msiexec -i %TEMP%\jpulse\JunosPulse.x86.msi CONFIGFILE=%TEMP%\jpulse\Ifs_config.jnprpreconfig ADDLOCAL=PulseSA,SAHostChecker -qn
) else (
msiexec -i %TEMP%\jpulse\JunosPulse.x64.msi CONFIGFILE=%TEMP%\jpulse\Ifs_config.jnprpreconfig ADDLOCAL=PulseSA,SAHostChecker -qn
)

Thank you in advance for your input.

Dear James,

if I haven't missed your question, you want to conditionally execute an msi from your setup script instead of using that batch file.

If it is true, you can simply;



The same as IA Clipboard format;


NOTE!
You can use script variables with the "COMMAND LINE PARAMETER" field of the RUN PROGRAM command .
For example; you could use the TEMPDIR pre-defined variable, instead of the %TEMP% environment variable or any other custom variable that you may require.

Alternatively, you could also use "(Un)Install MSI Setup plug-in" instead of using the RUN PROGRAM command to execute your msi files.
The (Un)Install MSI Setup plug-in can run any MSI to install it or remove it; and even capture the progress feedback and display it natively inside the InstallAware setup dialogs as if it were its own.

Regards

thank you, i shall give it a go
