Custom package to run .EXE

[Scott1018]

The package contains a .BAT that tells the following file to run C:\TEMP\Install.exe

 

I was able to run the .BAT manually and it works and tested the package on several machines while on the VPN and our office network but have failed to get it to work on my test group.

 

We used another package to copy the .EXE to the Temp folder because it is the only location that we can get it to run from.

 

The .BAT contains the following information..

 

"C:\temp\Install.exe"

 

I wanted to keep it simple but is their something I could add to make sure it will run? This will be pushed to all W7 laptops in our envirement with a mix of 64/32 bit.

 

We pushed the package to run hidden and use admisitrative rights.

Just put the EXE in the package and change the commandline in the batch file to %~dp0Install.exe. %~dp0 is a batch file variable for the current directory.

Thanks for responding Peter. The only problem with your solution is that it will run the .EXE from the package folder. I need Install.exe to run in C:\TEMP

 

Sorry if I did not make that clear in my initial post.

Keep the EXE in your package and change your BAT as follow :

REM MD C:\Temp

COPY %~dp0Install.exe C:\Temp\Install.exe
C:\Temp\Install.exe
