[RESOLVED] Installation Help

I am trying to install a server on a host maching. It is a VistaDB Server, but I am not expecting brand specific information.

I was just wondering if someone could help me interpret what the below text means. I understand point one and three. I am having a problem with point two. I am using INNO setup and am not sure how to accomplish line two using INNO.

VB Code:

Installing and running the Windows Server
To install the VistaDB Server on the deployment machine, do the following:
 
 
 
1. C:\Program Files\VistaDB 2.1\Server\2User\VistaDBServerService.exe  "/install /silent"
 
2. C:\Windows\System32\net.exe  C:\Program Files\VistaDB 2.1\Server\2User start "VistaDB Server"
 
3. C:\Program Files\VistaDB 2.1\Server\2User\ServerServiceManager.exe

Thank you for your help.

The 3 are evidently command lines that the installation package has to run. I've never used Inno, so I can't tell you how to write the script, but I can tell you that #2 says that C:\Windows\System32\net.exe is run with the argument 'C:\Program Files\VistaDB 2.1\Server\2User start "VistaDB Server"' (without the single tics, of course). (That's 3 arguments, actually, but net.exe doesn't seem to like the arguments.)

In Inno use the [Run] Section to install any third party installations. Something like this:

Code:

---

[Run]
Filename: {tmp}\VistaDBServerService.exe; Parameters:/install /silent; Flags: skipifdoesntexist; WorkingDir: {tmp}
Filename: C:\Windows\System32\net.exe; Parameters:start VistaDB Server; Flags: skipifdoesntexist
Filename: {tmp}\ServerServiceManager.exe; Flags: skipifdoesntexist; WorkingDir: {tmp}

Of course you will need to include these files in your [Files] Section to be included in the original installation. Or you can include them seperately (files not in the [Files] section) and have Inno just run them from the original location or copy them to another location then run them.

Thank you very much randem, that solved that problem. I didn't know how to set those parameters.
