[izpack-users] Passing arguments to executable

[Zycor.net Development Solutions]

Hi everybody,

Can anybody help with this? As far as I can tell, the correct way of 
doing this would actually be as follows (From the ProcessPanel docs...):

<pack name="MSDE 2005" id="sqlExpress.package" required="no"
                installGroups="Stand Alone (Vista),Network Server (Vista)"
                loose="true">
            <description>The MS SQL Server Express</description>
                <file src="serverExpress" targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH"/>
                <executable
                    targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/serverExpress/setup.exe"
                            stage="postinstall" keep="false" failure="warn">
                    <arg> /qb </arg>
                    <arg> INSTANCENAME=CORETALK </arg>
                    <arg> ADDLOCAL=ALL </arg>
                    <arg> SQLAUTOSTART=1 </arg>
                    <arg> AGTAUTOSTART=1 </arg>
                    <arg> SECURITYMODE=SQL </arg>
                    <arg> SAPWD=root </arg>
                    <arg> DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 </arg>
                </executable>
    </pack>       

But this still does not pass any arguments to the setup.exe...
