Setupbuilder inject test into dos window

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

With a product we're converting to SQL, I'm installing the Firebird server
from the installer, and would like to create/register a connection to an
installed (blank) database using the ibconsole. This is a dos utility, and
I'm struggling to find a way to run the ibconsole with command line
characters from the run command. The next best is to inject into the dos
window with the ibconsole running. I could do this in Clarion with OddJob to
create a job and bring the dos command interface into my application, but it
would be more elegant to do this in the install. Is there a way of doing
this?

Thanks very much.

Hi Geoff,

As I understand it, ibconsole is simply command line utility. So you can
call it with "Run Program...".

You can use a variable in the Command Line field and then "fill in" the
required commands and switches. Or you can define your commands directly in
this entry field. Similar to the attached screenshot (in this case a SQL
Server 2012 project; with a very complex command line execution).
