Spark 2.8.3 (Install4j Installer)

As the previous entry (below) notes, the msi-based installation packages have been deprecated. This installer works with the install4j-based "Offline installer" package available at igniterealtime.org 

<package 
	id='spark' 
	name='Spark IM' 
	revision="%PKG_VERSION%"
	reboot="false"
	priority="0">
	
	<variable name="PKG_VERSION"		value="2.8.3.960" />
	<variable name="PKG_SHORT_VERSION"	value="2_8_3" />
	<variable name="PKG_SOURCE"		value="%SOFTWARE%\SparkIM" />
	<variable name="PKG_NAME"		value="spark_%PKG_SHORT_VERSION%.exe" />
	<variable name="PKG_INSTALL_SWITCH"	value="-q -overwrite -varfile %PKG_SOURCE%\response.varfile" />

	<upgrade include="install" />
	
	<remove cmd="taskkill /f /im Spark.exe">

	</remove>
	<remove cmd='"%PKG_DESTINATION%\uninstall.exe" %PKG_REMOVE_SWITCH%' />
</package>

Spark 2.5.8 (MSI Installer)

This installer:

  • Uninstalls an already installed version of Spark.
  • Assumes you are using the "Offline installation, includes Java JRE" rather than the "Online installation, does not include Java JRE".
  • Requires an MSI installer rather than a .exe installer [though these are possibly no longer available, see http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/thread/40710].

The installed version was 2.5.0 (installed by the install4j installer). Options for Install4j (silent uninstall) can be found at: http://resources.ej-technologies.com/install4j/help/doc/
