Task Sequence Install software command line "C:\Program.exe" "using filles from package"

[crb]

1st off I hope this is the correct Forum for such topic.

 

I have a program that has multiple steps the first task sequence installs someting to "c:\program" Directory. The second Needs to call the program from the C:\Program\program.exe against a directory with files in it within the package. For my command line I have tried

 

C:\program\program.exe -p %~dp0\directory\directory

C:\program\program.exe -p "%~dp0\directory\directory"

C:\program\program.exe -p \\smsserver\smspkgd$\000etcpkg\directory\directory

 

 

I have created a bat file

SETLOCAL

 

Set thisdir = %~dp0

 

C:\program\program.exe -p %thisdir%\directory\directory

 

Nothing ever works. Does anyone know how to from a create a program within a package that tells SCCM to run the local program from the C:Drive but get additional needed files from within the Install software task sequence that has a package Specified?

 

Any help or Thoughts will be tested.

Thanks, Craig Blake

If the 1st program installs to a local location then all you need to do is deploy that file from a precreated package with the files in it

Start /Wait %~dp0setup.exe /parameters

 

The second part then calls those files to install the rest from the local machine (if 1st step has been successful)

start /wait "C:\Directory\setup.exe" /parameters

 

Put all together in a package(files + command file or bat file), distribute and deploy to a collection

 

The bat file can now be:

Start /Wait %~dp0setup.exe /parameters

start /wait "C:\Directory\setup.exe" /parameters

 

You could specify to run from DP or download locally until you get it to work for you!
