Greetings from Cajun land

Newbie to batch scripting and power shell so I was asked to join your community to further develop my self I'm self thought and paying for it all my self. Live and work in Frierson, Louisiana and working for a mid size Oil & Gas companies IT dept. Looking to better and further develop my self since the normal IT HelpDesk title will soon disappear.

Task at hand, I'm looking to create a script to do a silent install an exe file but USSF is not able to help since it's C++ wrapped. Error: The header returned by PEiD was 'Nothing found [Overlay]'

Some general guidance would be greatly be appreciated. I've created some other scripts which worked like a charm but those were MSI packages so this is my first go around with exe type.

Cheers
NS

Hi - welcome to ScriptingAnswers.

Unfortunately C++ is not PowerShell or any other scripting language.

If you are writing installer code you will need to post questions in a developer forum for the development tools you are using.

MSI is not a script. It is an installer file/database. We do not support MSI here either.

may have worded things wrong I think. I'm looking for help with a batch script. Right or wrong section?

[jvierra]

Can you post the batch script with a specific question. What is wrong? What errors are you getting? Please describe your issue.

This is not a scripting issue. It is an issue with the installer. Consult the b==vendor as the code is vendor specific and is reported with Oracle and JRE.

[nsaska]

may I ask how you knew that?

[jvierra]

A batch file cannot generate that error. If you look up the error you will see that Oracle products regularly gen that error because of missing prerequisites.

how would I enable Install logging in my script? would that help me? I've emailed the Vendor and he stated:

That error code (Access Violation 0xC0000005) is coming back from InstallShield so I asked them about it. I will let you know if I hear anything.

Again you are asking a question about a custom installer and not about a script. You need to ask the vendor these questions as they are the ones who created the installer package.
