    Pawan,

     

    Attached is a zipfile containing a system of batch scripts (which work together) to provide you a solution regarding automated deployment of a robot to a windows machine using the native installer from a fileshare.  If you want to be able to deploy from a centralized machine to multiple machines for robot deployment, I’ll need another couple of days or so to support this (when my time frees up again).  If the latter is a preferred mechanism, I will investigate it.  The attached zipfile contains a README.txt file which is also mirrored here.  Please remember these scripts are provided as-is.

     

    ============

     

    Using the robot_silent_install_nd.bat script:

     

    This script will allow automated deployment of a robot (and additional probes) using a fileshare to grab the native installer.

    It is driven by a host file for which an example is provided (robot_hosts.txt).  The host file contains all the necessary information to ensure the

    deployed robot is installed.  Information content is recorded in the %TMP% directory and useful information is pushed to the

    console.

     

    It requires at minimium two (2) arguments.

     

    Mandatory Argument 1 : fullpath location to native installer executable

    Mandatory Argument 2 : path to host file

    Optional Argument     3  : global file representing additional probe deployments to robot ( see example in zipfile )

     

    Samples of the robot host file and probe deploy files are provided in the zip.

     

    REMEMBER this is given to you as-is without any implied warranty.
