Repackager Wizard

[james.evans@brother.co.uk]

Hello,

I am using the Repackager wizard to covert an existing executable file into an .msi file and am having problems.

When I get the screen which asks me for the 'application path', 'command line' 'product name' etc I try to input a series of switches into the command line. These switches work OK apart from those which are supposed to read system information as all they do is repeat the command line back.

I previously called these switches in a batch file as follows:
install -a 10.2.129.17 -p 11562 -l %COMPUTERNAME% -c %USERNAME%

When the program installed, the text %COMPUTERNAME% was actually replaced with my computer name.

When I try the same command in the command line interface in the Repackager wizard all I see is %COMPUTERNAME%.

Please can you help me?

Thank you to anybody who can....

Hi,

I'm afraid that environment variables are not supported by the Repackager Wizard, therefore you cannot use them.

The workaround is to specify the values of the environment variables directly (for example the name of your computer instead of "%COMPUTERNAME%").
