/NewPrerequisite command problem

[patrickmast]

Hello,

I have a installer script where I want to add a new Prerequisite with the /NewPrerequisite command. This is what I have so far:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 6.9.1\AdvancedInstaller.com" /edit "C:\test for BC5.aip" /NewPrerequisite Borland C -prereq_type UrlBased -prereq_path http://altd.embarcadero.com/download/bcppbuilder/freecommandLinetools.exe -search_type FileVersion -search_path bcc32.exe -search_depth 3 -minversion 5.0

But it keeps me giving this error:

Advanced Installer version 6.9.1

Usage:
AdvancedInstaller.exe <path_to_project_file>
AdvancedInstaller.exe /help [<command>] | /? [<command>]
AdvancedInstaller.exe /build <path_to_project_file> [-buildslist <builds_list>]
AdvancedInstaller.exe /rebuild <path_to_project_file> [-buildslist <builds_list>]
AdvancedInstaller.exe /edit <path_to_project_file> <command>
AdvancedInstaller.exe /execute <path_to_project_file> <command_file_path> [-nofail]

NewPrerequisite command:
/NewPrerequisite <display_name> -prereq_type <FileBased|UrlBased|OpenSite> -prereq_path <prereq_path> [-cmd_line <cm
d_line>] [-extract_folder <extract_folder>] [-64bit] [-lzma_compresion] [-size <prereq_file_size>] [-md5 <prereq_file_md
5>] [-target_os <Win9x|WinNT|Win64>] [-force_install] -search_type <FileVersion|RegSubKeyEnum|RegValue> -search_path <se
arch_path> [-search_depth <search_depth>] [-minversion <minimum_version>] [-maxversion <maximum_version>] [-aditionalfil
es <aditional_files>] [-builds <builds_list>]

What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

It seems that a bug in the command line interface requires the "/NewPrerequisite" to use the "-size" parameter. A bugfix will be included in a future version. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Until then, a solution is to specify the size of the prerequisite package.

Regards,
Cosmin

Thank you. Adding the -size did not help for me. My command line is now:

Code: Select all

AdvancedInstaller.com /edit "C:\free.xH.com for BC5.aip" /NewPrerequisite Borland C -prereq_type UrlBased -prereq_path http://altd.embarcadero.com/download/bcppbuilder/freecommandLinetools.exe -size 8935988 -search_type FileVersion -search_path bcc32.exe -search_depth 3 -minversion 5.0

Hi Patrick,

Enclose the prerequisite name in quotes as it contains spaces, ("Borland C") and there shouldn't be any more problems.

Best regards,

Hello Ciprian,

Ok, works great now, thanks!
