Installing JET for XP using Inno Setup

[David.Poundall]

I have had a good search around for this one and come up with nothing so I am taking a stab and asking those who may know ... will this work.

I have based it on the code used to install MDAC and the target system is only XP. MDAC 2.7 is already on but I need to be sure Jet is on there also. The file I am activating is the latest from Microsofts Website. But is my syntax right ?? Anyways, here it is...

' ----------------------------------------------

[Files]
Source: ..\windowsxp-kb829558-x86-enu.exe; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: ignoreversion deleteafterinstall

[Run]
Filename: {tmp}\windowsxp-kb829558-x86-enu.exe; Parameters: /NORESTART /VERYSILENT WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags: skipifdoesntexist

' ----------------------------------------------

TIA

David.Poundall,

That's good except for the part

/NORESTART /VERYSILENT

These parameters will only apply to a archive created by Inno Setup not Microsoft. You need to use the Microsoft parameters for that installation.

Ok - Thanks Randem, researching it now.

OK the script for the installing Jet on an XP machine is as follows.

' -----------------------------------------------------------------

[Files]
Source: E:\VBCode\Installers\02 - Webtracker Code June 2005\02 - Support DLL OCX's\windowsxp-kb829558-x86-enu.exe;
DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: ignoreversion deleteafterinstall

[Run]
Filename: {tmp}\windowsxp-kb829558-x86-enu.exe;
Parameters: /quiet; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags: skipifdoesntexist

' -----------------------------------------------------------------

It does a quiet install and the M$ install part is intelligent to determine if it neads to be installed or not.

You can get the file 'windowsxp-kb829558-x86-enu.exe' from here.
