[izpack-users] how to run an Batch File

[panneer selvam]

hi vasanth,

try to execute the batch file seperatly to avoid any error may be
there in batch file.(testing).
and avoid using "\" ...
use "/" or "\\".

sample coding...........................

<packs>
<!-- The core files -->
<pack name="Core" required="yes">
<description>The IzPack core files.</description>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="bin"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="lib"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="legal"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="Readme.txt"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="Versions.txt"/>
<file targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" src="Thanks.txt"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/izpack-fe"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/izpack-fe.bat"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/compile"/>
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/compile.bat"/>
<executable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/compile" stage="never"/>
<executable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/bin/izpack-fe" stage="never"/>
</pack>
<!-- The documentation (1 directory) -->
<pack name="Documentation" required="no">
