[izpack-users] how to run an Batch File

[Vasanth]

thanks dennis,


*this process code is working fine.*

* <job name="installmsi">*

*       <os family="windows"/>   *

*       <executefile name="msiexec.exe">
       <arg>/i</arg>
       <arg>$INSTALL_PATH\postgresql-8.2.msi</arg>

       </executefile>
       <executeForPack name="postgresql8.2"/>
  </job>*
but after it has triggered the installation it is throwing a pop-up
with *"Process
Execution failed" Continue anyway?  yes/no *
though  it is throwing the error, i was still able to complete the
installation, just wanted to know why it is throwing the error?

thanks a million for ur help guys.
Vasanth.
