Won't read XML file

[bateslabel]

I am doing a trial for our company. I am having an issue where the package won't read the xml file. I created a temp folder, shared it out, and put both the msi and the config file in the same folder. But the msi does not read the xml file. What am I doing wrong?

any messages errors or info?

No. It just installs but without any changes listed in the xml file.

The config file has to be named 'cfg.xml' in order to be automaticly catched by the installer.
Im not really sure about this, but I thought it only works if you install it silently, ie with the use of a batch file. If you just double click the MSI and follow the setup it wont catch the .xml file. (But I may be wrong on this!)

Batch file I use looks something like this:

@echo off
net use t: \\server\esetsetup /persistent:no /yes
t:\eavbe_nt32_enu.msi /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress"
net use t: /delete /yes


Share contains the msi installer, the config file (cfg.xml) and the above install.bat

/edit; For more command-line options (and push installations) you can read the ERA manual. It has a client install guide.
/edit2: In this (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=241369) topic I also explained how to use a self extracting file to use as a installer. Might be of use.

I have been trying to do a remote install doing a push installation using xml config. The file is named cfg.xml. Is that the wrong way? I am reading from the manual and unless I am reading it wrong I should be able to do it like that.

Are you using ESET RA for that?
http://www.eset.com/download/ESET_ERA_User_Guide_EN_rew.pdf - In this manual its explained in detail how to push a clients installation with RA.

Yes that is the manual I am using. Chapter 4.

So what is the exact problem you have with ERA? Having trouble making a package? or pushing it out to clients?

In the first post your talking about a share and you want to install from it? (then you can use that batch file for it)

I was able to figure it out and it is working good now ;D

Glad to read you have it all working :).
