Automation for exceutables

[asifm]

Hi,

 

I need 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!!!

Try dir /s /b C:\AMB | find /c ".exe

Assuming you don't need them run in a specific order pass parameters or wait for each one to complete

then try

 

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

call %temp%\abc.bat

[asifm]

That exe asks for installation directoty, where that should be defined.

Hi PlanetBrain,

 

Can you please let me know what is (%temp%\abc.bat) abc.bat in this script?

 

Thanks in Advance!

[planetbrain]

%temp% is an environment variable which points to the folder user for temporary files in windows

the script writes a list of executable files to a batch file called abc.bat in the folder pointed to by %temp% and then runs that batch file

Hi Planetbrain,

 

Can you write a scrpit something like this one.

@echo off

set /P _license file=License file path:

set /P _directory=New voyager Install Directory:

cd\

 

for /f %%a in ('dir /s /b C:\Plugins\YardiPIInstall.exe') do %%a /qs C:\Test70.log /L "%_license file%" /d "%_directory%"

 

 

Pause

 

-------------------------------------------------------

This is not executing correctly, throwing an error unable to determine the voyager version means the base version of their setup.

 

please help.

That sounds like a problem with the setup programme itself, not the script.

But manually it is installing successfully.

[Ephelyon]

Are you running it manually by double-clicking it, or are you giving it command-line parameters then as well?

[planetbrain]

i'd remove the @echo off from the start, then it would write the command it's executing to the screen for each executableso you could make sure it is parsing and passing the variables correctly

 

or just change

for /f %%a in ('dir /s /b C:\Plugins\YardiPIInstall.exe') do %%a /qs C:\Test70.log /L "%_license file%" /d "%_directory%"

 

to f

or /f %%a in ('dir /s /b C:\Plugins\YardiPIInstall.exe') do echo %%a /qs C:\Test70.log /L "%_license file%" /d "%_directory%"

 

then it would just give you a list of the programs to be executed and the paramaters the script is passing as part of the command.

I need to run exe after the completion of previous one.

[planetbrain]

The commands I gave should to that, but it will run the programs in the order it finds them which may or may not be the order you want to run them in

The script is finding the exe and running also but not installationg 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 clich next to continue the setup, but while running script it is not inherting 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?
