Re: How do I install an application using a custom component

It doesn't matter how you install the app - via component (preferable) or directly.

As long as the changes are persistent (EWF/FBWF are off which is often the case while FBA is running) the app will be installed.

Along with the system component install, FBA and custom FBA resources just allow you to simplify (automate and disable the GUI) an
app and driver installation process.

Thanks KM. Let me read it and get back to you. I cannot believe how fast I
get replies on this forum. Thanks for your help.

I have one more question. If I include it as part of FBA.exe, the
application gets installed once and thats it right (like Windows XP pro). If
I include it as a component, does it get installed everytime you reboot ?. I
am trying to understand the way install works.

Thanks

The best approach would be componentizing your application. Learn how to componentize an app:

If you don't want to mess wit hit now, you can simply install at run time during or after FBA. Just set up a FBA Generic Command
to
launch the batch file (as an argument to cmd.exe) or the setup.exe with the silent install options passed in. Here is how you
can
setup the command : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912924.aspx

Hi There,

I had problems installing the driver using INF import method. I solved the
problem today. I was able to install the driver successfully. Now I have to
install an application. I have the install.bat (silent install) or setup.exe,
I can use either one of them to install my application. Is there any way I
could automate it. Can I edit the startup script to include my setup.exe or
install.bat ? Or Is there any way I could create a component that
automatically installs my application using setup.exe or install.bat. Please
let me know.

Thanks
Siva
