How to run a BATCH file in a Program(pkgs)

[capriguy84]

Hi,

 

I am confused with the online documentation on running a batch file from in a TS. Basically, I am installing a software using batch file.

 

My package source contains: app.exe, configfile.ini, regfix.reg, INSTALL.bat.

 

I'd like to create a program to just run the bathc file which works on the config files & exe. So after some online ref. I used below format but it does not work.

 

commandline: %~dp0INSTALL.bat

 

Any ideas?

The commandline of the Program can just be INSTALL.bat without the %~dp0. You only need to use %~dp0 within a batchfile.

So that brings another question. So day my batch file calls the .exe file. say:

 

app.exe /s /qn /CONFIG=configfile.ini

 

will this change to

 

%~dp0app.exe /s /qn /CONFIG=%~dp0configfile.ini

 

Is that correct?

[Peter van der Woude]

That's indeed correct if they are all in the root folder.

Thanks for clarifying! It works now.

I am new to SCCM, and i'm having problems with a batch file running automatically from cache on a Windows 7 machine,

 

I created a package with two programs, both are set to deploy locally and run from cache, using a unc path and to run with admin rights and to deploy whether the users logged in or not.

 

I have set the main program to run the msi and transform file via a command line which runs and installs fine.

 

The problem is with the second linked program, its a batch file, with a simple xcopy command such as xcopy "%~dp0Redirect.txt "c:\program files\example"

 

It fails to execute automatically, although it runs ok manually when I run as administrator and I understand the UAC comes into force since

I want to copy a file into the Program Files area, although I thought deploying/running the program with admin rights from SCCM would resolve this, is there anything I'm missing?
