Postexecution ?

solarwinds-admin

Hi all,

I'm currently testing the eminentware solution.

I create a custom package of Firefox 10.0.2 and i want to execute a script after the firefox installation.

The script is called by an autoit exe file.

So i check use the package boot helper program and include my files :

- post_script.exe (call .vbs)

- post_script.vbs (delete firefox.lnk on the public desktop)

Here my packageboot.xml, :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packageboot version="1.0.0.0" id="8e283f7d-cca2-4d4d-90b5-bedf5f27d90d">
<instructions>
    <preexecution>
    </preexecution>
    <execution>
      <programs>
        <program type="exe" typeaction="runandwait" name="Firefox Setup 10.0.2.exe" successcode="0" failureaction="stop" enabled="true">-ms</program>
      </programs>
    </execution>
    <postexecution>
      <programs>
        <program type="exe" operation="runandwait" name="post_script.exe" successcode="0" failureaction="stop" enabled="true">
        </program>
      </programs>
    </postexecution>
</instructions>
</packageboot>

After the update, firefox is installed but the postexecution don't work.

I tried with an other exe but without results.

Can you help me with this ?

Thx

The <postexecution><programs><program> element needs to have a pathtype= and a path= attribute specified.

Also, verify that the Firefox Setup 10.0.2.exe is returning only the '0' successcode in all instances. If the installer is generating a Reboot Required state, it will return the '3010' successcode, and you will need to explicitly define that in the <execution><programs><program> element, or else the failureaction="stop" attribute will prevent the execution of the entire <postexecution> block.

How can i determine the "path" ? This exe file is inclued in my package.

Thanks in advance
