Embedding AutoRepo scriptlets in MCSCRIPT.INI
Using the AutoRepo scripting language, you can embed simple scripts in
MCSCRIPT.INI that Management Console runs when you add a product to
the Repository. This functionality was initially introduced to enable the
extraction of the NetWare Server file set from the NetShield NetWare package
by running SETUP.EXE with a special set of flags.
The format of the AutoRepo scriptlet is very similar to the normal
install/uninstall script, has no flow commands, and uses a small set of
pre-defined macros. The scriptlet is placed in a section of MCSCRIPT.INI
called
[AutoRepoInstall]
, and its commands are prefixed by
Cmd<
nn>
.
Example:
[AutoRepoInstall]
Cmd00=MKDIR !TEMPDIR!\NSH403\NLMFILES
Cmd10=RUNWAIT !INSTALLPATH!\SETUP.EXE
/WMEDECOMP=!TEMPDIR!\NSH403\NLMFILES -s -SMS
Cmd20=COPY !INSTALLPATH!\MCNWSCRI.INI
!TEMPDIR!\NSH403\NLMFILES\MCSCRIPT.INI
Cmd30=COPY !INSTALLPATH!\MENSHNW.DLL
!TEMPDIR!\NSH403\NLMFILES\MENSHNW.dll
Cmd40=ADDINSTALLPATH !TEMPDIR!\NSH403\NLMFILES
