[asifm]

Hi,

 

I need vbs or batch file which can run number of .exe present within a folder.

For example the all exe present in C:\AMB folder, the AMB folder contains many installable folders, and in that exe are present i.e. C:\AMB\installable\abc.exe ,C:\AMB\installable_1\abc.exe.

 

All exe are having same naming convention. abc.exe

 

Can someone please help me out in this project.

 

Thanks in Advance!!!

You would just need to have something like RUN ("C:\AMB\installable\abc.exe") for each exe you want to run. Edited April 2, 2013 by Grey-gear

Wouldnt you also need to set it to wait till one had finished before starting the next one.

Hi Grey-gear,

 

But i need to run each and every .exe whic is present inside C:\AMB\ folder.

 

Actually i have a setup which ask a license file and then directory where to install, when this setup is completed.

Then around 20 plugins which are executables (exe) needs to be installed inside the above ran setup.

I want to do automation for this process.

 

Can you please write such script?

 

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

 

I think this code is written in java, can i have something same in commandline (batch file).

 

Thanks.

[asifm]

I need script something like this one below;

only the change i want is instead of giving each YepPIInstall.exe path i want to execute all the exe's at once which are in "C:\Plugins" directory.

@echo off

set /P _license file=License file path:

set /P _directory=New Test Install Directory:

 

cd\

 

cd "C:\Plugins\AD_PLUGIN_INST"

YepPIInstall.exe /qs C:\Test70.log /L "%_license file%" /d "%_directory%"

 

cd "C:\Plugins\COMM_PLUGIN_INST"

YepPIInstall.exe /qs C:\Test70.log /L "%_license file%" /d "%_directory%"

 

 

cd "C:\Plugins\CORR_PLUGIN_INST"

YepPIInstall.exe /qs C:\Test70.log /L "%_license file%" /d "%_directory%"

Looks like vbs to me. Does the above wait for one to finish before starting the next as it could very well sort a similar thing for me that has just cropped up.

That code is VBS

Ah! Just googled the run command and see you set the option to wait till finished, brilliant, thanks, job sorted for me anyway :-)

Sorry, this is a VB Script, just save it as a .vbs file and it will run on any windows based PC.

 

Cheers

run at command prompt.

for /f %a in ('dir /s /b C:\AMB\*.exe') do %a

 

if you run this from a .BAT file, you will need two % for the variables

for /f %%a in ('dir /s /b C:\AMB\*.exe') do %%a

Hi,

 

for /f %%a in ('dir /s /b C:\AMB\*.exe') do %%a

Hi jklight,

 

The above code is perfect for me, but only thing is the executable asks for directory path where this should be installed eg: d:\Setup\xyz

How can i set the path for this each .exe, all exe will go at same path.

From your earlier post as an example, something like this:

[color=#333333]set /P _license file=License file path:[/color]

I am unable understand %temp%\abc.bat.

 

 

dir /s /b C:\AMB| find "abc.exe" > %temp%\abc.bat

Hi,

 

The script is finding the exe and running also but not installating while it throws an error , unable to determine the setup version.

 

when we run plugin.exe manully it also asks for the directory path where its base version setup is installed, we need to enter that path over thier and then click next to continue the setup, but while running script it is not inheriting the path which we set as directory /d "%_directory%"

 

Can you please help me to correct this, or any other way where i can achieve this goal?

Can i get powershell script, similar to this script?

Please help!

[JJanisch]

Why dont you use the VBS script written above? Paste it into notepad and save it as .vbs, then just run that file as if it was a batch. No difference, just VBS is a better language!
