Izpack Silent Install
Izpack Silent Installation
I've noticed a difference in the behavior of the automated/silent install compared to a GUI or console installation.We have an installer for an application which has 2 parts: a database scripts installation which should be executed on AIX/Unix, and an application installation which should be executed on Windows platform.We have the following 2 packs: When using the GUI or console installer in Windows the database pack is not enabled. Pack 'Database' not enabledHowever when using a silent install XML-file generated from the GUI or console installation it mentiones that the pack must be installed:Pack Name: Database and Index: 2 must be installed because it is required Starting to unpack Processing package: Applicatie (1/2) Unpacking finished Starting processing The silent install containt the following. The 'Database scripts' pack only copies the database scripts for reference and has no platform restrictions. It doesn't seem to actually do the 'Database' pack as I don't see the corresponding files after the installation, but it does seem to set the packselection condition to true which results in the process panel executing a job it should not execute.
I can work around this with an OS restriction but it still seems strange that the behavior is different from the GUI or console installation.
