Automatically Installing Tested Applications.

Ivan,

1. To run installers from the command line, you can use the following code:

Set objShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell")     




objResult = objShell.Run("""C:\My Apps\My App Installer1.exe"" -cmdLineArg1 -cmdLineArg2", 1, True)

For information on parameters of the Run method, see the MSDN library:

2. A possible alternative to the scripting approach above --




* Copy the installation packages of your applications to a folder on a clean system, say, to C:\Temp\Installers.




* On your computer, add installers as tested applications to your TestComplete project and specify the C:\Temp\Installers folder as their path in the tested application settings.




* Now, after you copy the test project and installers to the clean system, you will be able to launch the installations in the same manner as you launch tested applications (TestedApps.Installer.Run).
