Batch file snapin install

[dureal99d]

@Tom-Elliott THe script for whatever reason is not executing which I find to be surprising cause when executed on windows it installs without a hitch. I assume the error code 1 is some permission issue. but I don’t know how when I have disabled the permissions on my systems?

@Joe-Schmitt said in Batch file snapin install:

snapin packs is to let you bundle multiple files / scripts together.

I will research to see how I can convert this. I tried to save it as a vbs but nothing happens then

[Joe Schmitt]

@dureal99d you can skip the extra file altogether. I just looked at your script and you’re just using VBS to wait, which can be done in batch natively:

timeout /t 5 /nobreak

said in Batch file snapin install:

“*[PopCap][ExtremlymTorrents.Me].exe”

I don’t think it knows where these are. In a batch script, the current directory is

%~dp0

So maybe try this piece

"%~dp0*[PopCap][ExtremlymTorrents.Me].exe"

EDIT: Fixed, ty @Joe-Schmitt

[Joe Schmitt]

@Wayne-Workman %~dp0 includes the trailing \

@Joe-Schmitt I will try this soon and report back.

@Joe-Schmitt tell me if this is right.

@echo off
Echo Wscript.Sleep 5000>"%Temp%\Wait.vbs"
Echo WScript.Quit>>"%Temp%\Wait.vbs"
Echo Installing Game Pack...
Echo.
For /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /on "%~dp0*[PopCap][ExtremlymTorrents.Me].exe" ') do (
Echo Installing %%~na...
Echo.
Start "" /wait Wscript "%Temp%\Wait.vbs"
Start "" /wait "%%a" /S
)
Del "%Temp%\Wait.vbs"```

@dureal99d You’ve still not gotten rid of the vbs calls.

[dureal99d]

@Wayne-Workman I see. well then how about this?

@echo off
Echo Installing Game Pack...
Echo.
For /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /on "%~dp0*[PopCap][ExtremlymTorrents.Me].exe"') do (
Echo Installing %%~na...
Echo.
Start "" /wait "%%a" /S
)

@Joe-Schmitt @Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott I thank you guys for the help but the original script worked just fine.

I believe this one was an user error and in this case me being that user.

When I made the snapin pack I messed up in how I told fog to execute the bat file inside by not telling fog that it had another folder to prior to trying to execute the bat file. as you can see from my original post I had simply _install.bat"
when in reality it was popcap/_install.bat I have since then repacked the .zip file with no other folder in the way and simplified the bat file by naming it simply pop.bat all with the original coding @echo off Echo Wscript.Sleep 5000>"%Temp%\Wait.vbs" Echo WScript.Quit>>"%Temp%\Wait.vbs" Echo Installing Game Pack... Echo. For /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /on "*[PopCap][ExtremlymTorrents.Me].exe"') do ( Echo Installing %%~na... Echo. Start "" /wait Wscript "%Temp%\Wait.vbs" Start "" /wait "%%a" /S ) Del "%Temp%\Wait.vbs"
after doing this all the games installed silently with no issues via fog deployment services. Thank You!!!
