RE: [ActiveDir] Using InstallShield in a Startup Script

Oops messed up the batch file.  It read like this I mean:

 

md c:\temp
md c:\temp\V5R2
copy \\server\iseries\*.* c:\temp\v5r2
c:\temp\v5r2\setup -s -f1c:\temp\v5r2\iseriesv5r2.iss -f2c:\v5r2.log -SMS

I tried this and it does the same thing.  I have a script that lists all processes running on the machine and I can see setup.exe in there but it never does anything.  I'm starting to think you can't use an InstallShield installer until you are logged in.  I can see it copy the files down and the install starts but that's it.  Also InstallShield never creates the log file either.  Here's an example of the batch file:

md c:\temp
md c:\temp\V5R2
copy \\server\iseries\*.* c:\temp\v5r2
c:\temp\v5r2\setup -s -f1z:\iseriesv5r2.iss -f2c:\v5r2.log -SMS

If you are able to get to the share, but the script is not executing the .exe, try copying the file from the share to the local machine (in your script) and then running setup.exe. Just make sure to use full paths in all instances

Has anyone ever called an InstallShield setup from a startup script before?  I have a simple batch file that calls an InstallShield setup.exe file from a startup script but it never seems to run.  The setup.exe file is on a server with a Null Share.  I've verified that the script is able to reach the file but the setup does not seem to run.  The machine I'm testing it on says "Running startup scripts" when it boots up for about 15 minutes but the setup program is never run.  If I login to the machine and run the file it works without any problems.
