yogurt Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) @ricktendo Rick, can you check the syntax for the following. I keep getting confused with when to and when not to use quotes and / characters. Also I was wondering if the code can be shortened or cleaned-up in any way? For example can I leave the msiexec out? Any insight you can provide is much appreciated.;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="hidcon:\"%SystemRoot%\system32\msiexec.exe\" /i AppleApplicationSupport.msi TRANSFORMS="AppleApplicationSupport.mst" /qn";!@InstallEnd@!OR;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="hidcon:msiexec.exe /i AppleApplicationSupport.msi TRANSFORMS=AppleApplicationSupport.mst /qn";!@InstallEnd@!OR;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="hidcon:msiexec.exe /i AppleApplicationSupport.msi TRANSFORMS="AppleApplicationSupport.mst" /qn";!@InstallEnd@!

ricktendo Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 The second one, and you can skip the msiexec part (you only need to use quotes if a filename or path has a space) ;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"AppleApplicationSupport.mst\"" ;!@InstallEnd@!Add %%T\\ to the transforms if it cannot be found;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"%%T\\AppleApplicationSupport.mst\"" ;!@InstallEnd@!

yogurt Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the insight, just one question, will the SFX installer stop with an error if the tranforms cannot be found? Add %%T\\ to the transforms if it cannot be found Also, if there are no spaces, then this would also work?;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram=AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS="AppleApplicationSupport.mst";!@InstallEnd@!

ricktendo Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 No... there NEEDS to be NORMAL quotes after RunProgram=<HERE>to the end of your command<HERE> Quotes and backslashes in between these two need to be formated like this: \" and \\ To clarify %%T will turn into the extraction path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogurt Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks again, I'm starting to understand and it's becoming quite clear. I would appreciate it If you could just give one last look at the syntax of the following 'config' before i post it. Thanks in advance. Also I was wondering -- If the stock installer from Apple does not require a restart when installed on a live system if I could do away with the /norestart switch?;!@Install@!UTF-8!;Default iTunes ONLY w/o prgress barRunProgram="AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"AppleApplicationSupport.mst\""RunProgram="x64:AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.mst\""RunProgram="x64:iTunes64.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"iTunes64.mst\"";[/ai] iTunes/Bonjour w/o progress barAutoInstall="AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"AppleApplicationSupport.mst\""AutoInstall="x64:AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.mst\""AutoInstall="x64:Bonjour64.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"Bonjour64.mst\""AutoInstall="x64:iTunes64.msi /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS=\"iTunes64.mst\""GUIMode="2"MiscFlags="4";!@InstallEnd@!

ricktendo Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yea you can do away with /norestart if the program does not prompt you to reboot, and your config looks goodYou could always add /norestart switch when you run your sfx, this will get passed along and added to all the RunProgram or AutoInstall commandsThis is why SetIni.exe in my MsSecEs installer works, when you add xx-XX parameter it is added to the SetIni RunProgram and completes the command...it is also added to the setup.exe command but setup.exe ignores thisWhen you run my mseinstall_x86_x64_intl.exe es-ES this is what happens RunProgram="hidcon:setini \"%%T\\%%P\\setup.ini\" Compat Market " <- es-ES is added here after space completing the setini command Same goes when you use /ai es-ES, /ai is not added because the sfx recognizes this but it does not recognize es-ES so its passed along to the run commands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiner Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Rick,You could always add /norestart switch when you run your sfx, this will get passed along and added to all the RunProgram or AutoInstall commandsSwitches added through command-line are passed only to the first Run or AI parameter in the working configuration for the 7zSFX.For example, if the config.txt has multiple Run parameters and you want to pass a switch to the second or third Run parameter--it can't be done with the module at present time.
