So far the stuff I got installes just fine if I run the install scripts by hand and wait for the installer to finish before starting the next for the oracle stuff we need to have installed (about 1 GB in total) > I found that I wasn't able to get it to work via a network mapped or unc > drive, with the response file. I got no problem with that so far, thou I wasnt the person that developed the response files. > I also had trouble with it starting to delete the locally stored temp > files with out the sleep command in there. this is sort of a messy way > to do it but it works. I have deployed many workstations with this and > never had a problem. This is exacly what I dont want to do. Cause how long do I sleep it, if we start 10 or 20 installations at the same time (or roughtly the same time) how much slower will it be, how do my diffrent hardware platforms affect the time I need to sleep the stuff, ect. and even thou I dont have to be there while it runs, I still have up to 150 boxes to install this way, and to many simutanious installs gets too slow, and I would have to sleep it longer. I would rather try the solution someone suggeted on some oracle forum, namely either have a program waiting for a process to end, or use AutoIt to look for the logfile which is the last thing the oracle installer do. Any perlgenius got any brilliant ideas how to either look for a process and then when it dont exist returns to the cmd prompt or wait for a file to be created and then return to the command prompt ? My experience with autoit is that I dont like it. > The copy takes a while 300+mb but what the heck you don't have to be there. > > This also works with Japanese language XP - if you care :-) I dont, thou I tried to install Japanese NT once, I didnt succed ;) btw. did I say I dont like Oracle ... their installer is bad, not suited for unattended installations. One would imagen a big company like that could do better. Ofcourse it could just be me that dont know how to get it to wait until the installation is done before going back to the cmd prompt.
