Definitive/Guaranteed Approach to Execute Batch Script Post MSI Installation using Visual Studio 2013 -


i've been cobbling post installation steps having difficulties, go into. please recommend suitable, ideally native, process run custom steps post installation.

using: visual studio 2013 ultimate

setup: vb.net project & visual studio instillation project

test os: win 7 x64 admin

currently, installer install main application , extracts ms sql express + sql scripts subdirectory. have batch file ("installsql.bat") in same directory, silently installs sql express, , executes sql scripts.

so how best execute "installsql.bat" script, when visual studio doesn't support batch execution, installer custom action?

methods i've tried:

  1. add cmd.exe (32-bit & 64-bit) + installer custom action launch script, per post. reason, cmd.exe executed non-administrator credential, , sql setup fails.

  2. use vbs script, launch batch script. vbs script not run , error "a script required install complete not run".

i happy consider alternative approach install sql express , run scripts, not based on batch file. however, custom batch file works when run manually i.e. not installer.

please note, needs work on windows xp , up, location insensitive i.e. no static file locations , ideally, without using 3rd party utilities. last requirement weak.

i config file

"yoursqlexefile" /configurationfile="fullpath\yourconfigfile"

you did not specify version of sql using (2008/2012/2014, etc). can find examples google search... otherwise may able share use if reply sql version.

Unlimited choices in BASH case statement -

consider simple bash snippet: case $option in 1) image=${options[0]%.tar} ;; 2) image=${options[1]%.tar} ;; 3) image=${options[2]%.tar} ;; 4) image=${options[3]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" exit 1 esac in real script numbers goes 30. makes pretty long. can somehow specify cases variable? something this: case $option in $i) image=${options[$(($i-1))]%.tar} any pointer appreciated. you can match against multiple patterns in single clause: case $option in 1|2|3: echo "$option one, 2 or three" ;; esac if still typing you, can use simple pattern matching: case $option in # following matches # - single-digit numbers 0-9 # - two-digit numbers starting either 1 or 2 # - number 30 [0-9]|[12][0-9]|30) image=${options[$(($option-1))]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" 1>&2 exit 1 esac

apache - How do I stop my index.php being run twice for every user -

we've got webapp initial html served using apache , php. i noticed index.php being run twice every request. seems caused / effected rewrite rules in our .htaccess - rewritecond %{http_host} ^(www\.|hotels\.)ourdomain\.com$ [nc,or] rewritecond %{server_name} ^(www\.|hotels\.)ourdomain\.com$ [nc] rewriterule (.*) http://ourdomain.com/$1 [r=301] rewriterule ^hotels/([^/]+)/?\??(.*)$ ?d=$1&$2 [qsa] the final rule moving parameter url path query string. i.e. http://ourdomain.com/hotels/vegas?someparam=1 becomes http://ourdomain.com?d=vegas&someparam=1 if go directly query string version index.php run once. if use url redirected, index.php run twice (i'm checking adding error_log('end of index.php') file). so example going http://ourdomain.com/hotels/paris hits file twice http://ourdomain.com?d=paris hits once. i've seen this question , had @ blog mentioned , , can't find empty string url's (i've tried using yslow process). ...
