Putting the file in the install dir does not mean that this file will
be installed, you need use the palm install tool or use the palm API
(as the conduit.exe do it).

plucker-build does not support the prepare to install.

So, create your DBS with the tools in the start menu group (add a new
DB) and than call "runsync.exe <DBNAME>" than also the install to user
work.

Or use plucker-build.exe from you batch and than call
 <snip>\plucker\conduit\conduit.exe -i=C:\DBs\test.pdb -u="Your Name"

yes this work, but understand that plucker-build is only an stup app
that call the real parser (parser.py), plucker-build.exe does not
parser an evaluate the command line itself, so if you specify -s
plcuker.buils do not see that so that ini keys that control the
plucker-buils itself (close_on_*) does not work if you specify the
with -s.

But plucker-build use the plucker.ini in the current (working)
directory if you call it, so you could set this keys in the default
section of an plucker.ini and call plucker-build if this directory are
the aktive.

Why you do not use the framework given by the installer? Create an new
DB, fill out the channel ini and the home HTML and than use

Ahhh, i think no :-)
