Hi,
It's been several years since I last dabbled with SUF and I'm rusty with action scripts, LUA, and so on. I wonder therefore if someone could offer me some guidance so that I don't end up reading a manual and attempting trial & error for hours on end and getting nowhere!
I'm sure my requirement must have been encountered by someone else before now. My installer, as well as my own files, is dependent on three other items, namely: .Net (minimum 4.0, I was thinking of using 4.5.2), which in turn is required for MySQL Community Edition, and finally everything requires a Java 8 JRE.
Using a Windows VM that I can snapshot and rollback as and when required, I've downloaded the three offline installers and some instructions. I've tried each of the installers and proved they worked by running them from the command line in silent mode. I've then rolled back the VM so it is clean again.
So far, so good. I'm now ready to replicate these actions in my SUF script. However, my concern is this: when running from the standard Windows command line, I notice that the command prompt returns pretty much immediately, but the installation of the relevant third-party product goes on in the background (as an example, the .Net installation log tells me that it took about 3 minutes to complete). Because of the need to have these third-party installers run synchronously (i.e. check the return code from one before the next starts), I'm not sure how I should instruct SUF to handle this chaining.
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
