View Full Version : Statusdlg missing with command line /BUILD

Hi,
Using SUF 8.1.1006.0
I'm using an automatic shell to create the setup with the command line /BUILD, because the product version has to be changed and added to the setups name.
This is the command line I use:
"C:\Programme\Setup Factory 8.0\SUF80Design.exe" /BUILD "core32_test.sf8" "/CONST:Config.ini" "/LOG:Log.txt"
This command line creates the setup and the log file, that is OK.
I'm missing a status window like the one that is shown when I start the build from menu with "Publish/Build". A window is shown in the taskbar, but it isn't selectable and it seems to be frozen.

Any idea would be appreciated.

No answer, too bad.
Has anybody else this problem? Do I have to make any changes to my command line or to the ini file?

Hope to hear anything.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm not sure that I understood what you want. If you use the /BUILD parameter, you are requesting an unattended build process, that can be run from a batch file, for example. In such a situation, the build shouldn't stop to show any confirmation or status dialogs at all. If you want to know if there was a problem during the unattended build, you should test the result code of the process instead - anthing different from zero means that something failed - and then take proper action.

Thanks for your reply, Ulrich.

I'll try to explain. Yes it would only be a nice feature to have. In my case to build my setup it takes about 4 to 5 minutes and I always use the unattended build, because of setting my design time constants.
No, I don't want to confirm anything during build, but it would be nice to have a progress displayed. My previous installer showed a line of increasing dots. So I noticed it works. I'm unable to activate SUF80Design.exe during commandline build, it won't come up to foregrund and only my PC fan or the TaskManager tell me that it is working.
Of cource I'll check the return code after build.

Yes, it's a wish but it would be nice to have. Not more or less.
