Batch installation of instrument drivers

[markus kossmann]

We need to install some instrument drivers , which are coming as selfextracting .exe file with a teststand 3.1 installer script. The problem now is that the latest generation of these installers (like tkdpo4k_setup.exe or agn5700_setup.exe) just start the installation  in background and then return immediately.  If you start two of these installers from the script the second one fails because the first one is still running. Is there any workaround for that problem  ?

Hi Markus,

if you have WinZip (R) or WinRar (R) installed, you can open the self-extracting .exe through the Windows Explorer context menu and extract all files to a location you specify. You can then put all extracted files on your installation medium and call the corresponding setup.exe directly.

Best regards,
Sebastian
