Version 2008

Silent installer for the Abacus ERP System

Example for the Client Setup, using version 2008.00 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packages>
<package id="abacus"
         name="Abacus"
         revision="200800"
         reboot="false"
         priority="0">
	
   <check type="registry" condition="equals" path="HKLM\SOFTWARE\ABACUS Research AG\AbaSetup\Version" value="2008.00" />
	
   <install cmd='cmd /c "%SOFTWARE%\abacus\install.cmd"' >
      <exit code="any" />
   </install>
		
</package>
</packages>

The batchfile install.cmd calls the actual clientsetup, as mapping network drives from within wpkg packages doesn't allways seem to work. 

@echo off
net use x: \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME /user:DOMAIN\USER PASSWORD
x:
x:\Abac\Setup\client\ClientSetup.exe

Notes: this asumes that you have Abacus installed from drive X:.

Don't forget to change the Server, Sharename and your logon credentials within the batch
