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

Same thing 12500 didn't make a difference. I noticed that FBA reboot right
after the installation and continues with the FBA process, then reboots again
and loads Win XPE. But it didn't install the application.

I am going to try RunOnce command, see if that works. The other option is to
create a custom component. I don't know how to create one using the setup
file. I have done it by importing INFs. Does it mean I have to create my own
INF file ?.

thanks

KM,

I tried using FBA Generic Command. I am getting the following error message:

4:06:31 AM -[FBASetProgressText] Installing Components...
4:06:31 AM -[FBACallEntryPoint] LoadLibrary(C:\GunzeApp\Install.bat) (Error:
0xc1)
4:06:31 AM -[FBASetProgressText] Resetting Setup Flag...

Do you know what is Error 0xc1 ?. My phase order is 8503 and build order is
1000. I just changed my phase order to 12500. I am going to test it now.

The Install.bat has a line setup.exe with some arguments. I tried the BAT at
command line and it works fine.

Thanks

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

Siva,

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
