[ANSWERED] Post Installer - start setup only after completed the previous

Hi there,

im facing the problem, that my setups in the post installer are starting to quick, means sometimes i got 2 setups at the same time so one setup brings up the error "another installation is already running".

is there any batch command with which i can define to start the setup only if the previous is completed?


This is my .bat



thanks in advance

Hello,

In the top right of the WinReducer oobe window tool, you should a menu. If you use it you will some options to add in your batch : like a "Pause" ... but if you want to add a pause in your actual file, you could just add the word Pause just after all executable, like this :

The only inconvenient is that : each time you finish installing a software you need to go the opened batch file to hit a key ... to start your next software installation.

I've already said that I'm working on improvements to the WinReducer OOBE tool, and this will be one of them (and also a fix for administrator rights) ...

Hi Xo

Do you know which ones are starting too quick?
You could use the start /wait command to force it to wait, for example



Once the executable has finished it should automatically move onto the next one...

Hi userXo,

I faced the exact problem myself a week ago. The solution is a bit tricky.

When running a command like you did the system implicitly calls the command "START". This has an optional parameter "/WAIT" (without the quotes) which does exactly what you want. There is only one thing you need to pay attention: Between the command and the wait-Parameter is another optional parameter for the title, which is supplied with surrounding quotes. You need to specify an empty title or otherwise the silent-switches are applied to the START-command and not to the called program.

Code:

START "" /WAIT "%CDROM%\WinReducerPI\jre-8u45-windows-i586.exe" /s
