InstallAware

Hello,

I am trying to build a setup for our software which needs the German
version of the SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (the version for both, 32 and 64 Bit)
installed as "Application Runtimes".


This Whitepaper http://www.installaware.com/installawar ... s_view.pdf
describes a way to integrate new "Application Runtimes" in Install Aware.
In my case I studied the RTM and MIA-Files of the "MS SQL Server Express 2008 x64" and changed it for the
German SQL server Express SP1. The Screenshot (file attachted below) shows the MSI - code of my setupsql.rtm.

My Proeblem is: during my installation the extraction of the SQLEXPR_x86.7z (line 10)
breaks at 95% and the installation terminates.

In line 11 I tried it with a simple copy but it also does not work. I have 7 GB free discspace remaining on my harddisc,
this should be enough for the installtion and I tried it with Admin-Rights.

Can anyone help me?


Thanks in advance for any help.

The extraction might be failing because the target path is too long. That's why the default scripts use a root drive as the extraction target, and not a user profile folder (which in your case appears to be curiously the music folder). Using a shorter path might fix that too!

Purple lines are Windows Installer actions and have no effect until Apply Install is called (click the Drag-Drop or Type MSIcode link in the script editor for a review of all command types and how they all work).

Hello Jasper,

i am also looking for a possibility to include the german librarys for SQL, IE, DOTNET and the stuff which is needed.
Did you have figgured out how to do this or do you have the scripts ready?

thanky you
