Hello,
I am trying to package a software that has response file, i am using the below command but was getting error.
please help
Execute-Process -path "$dirFiles\ca.exe" -parameters "-s --responsefile `"$dirFiles\response.properties`"" -windowstyle 'Hidden'
But from publisher site the below command works
ca.exe -f location\response_filename -i silent
Why did you use --responsefile if it was supposed to be -f ?
Execute-Process -path "$dirFiles\ca.exe" -parameters "-i silent -f `"$dirFiles\response.properties`""
I tied it installtion exited with 1001
Well I cant guess the correct parameters. What are you trying to install?
IBM cognos Framework manager.
Windows: ca_srv_<platform>_<build>.exe -r “C:\ResponseFile\ResponseFile.properties” .
also -parameters not working its throwing script block error, -arguments throwing 1001
Parameters and Arguments are both valid for this function. Shouldnt be throwing an error. Based on the documentation the command is also correct, unless it did not get copied corectly.
Thanks, couldnt figure where I was doing wrong
Any suggestions please
What error is it giving you?
Thanks
I am using the below command line
Execute-Process -path "$dirFiles\ca.exe" -parameters "-i silent -f `"$dirFiles\response.properties`""

I have used these parameters to install this software successfully in the past:
"-i silent -l de -f `"$dirFiles\response.txt`""
so I dont think the problem is there. Im thinking the problem is in the response file. Make sure it was created correctly. Try renaming it to .txt
Same error after changing to txt
Execute-Process -path "$dirFiles\ca_model_win32_11.0.8.exe" -parameters "-i silent -f `"$dirFiles\response.properties`""
Try using full executable name “ca_model_win32_11.0.8.exe”
yes i was using full exe name
What does the response file look like?

Seems very similar to mine so it should work.
Good morning all,
just came across by accident ^.^
Two things that came to my mind and hopefully can lead further to the solution…
As the Log says, @anchearavind 's command is running in User-Context.
User’s are normally not allowed to (over)write Files and/or Folders within the ProgramFiles-Folders. - So give it a try running with elevated privileges.
The other thing is, that sometimes installers need to be called with an actual working directory, not providing a working directory somtimes lead to weird issues, so this might be worth a try, too.
Kind regards,
BaBa
I am running script in admin ps
