NWSAPSETUP - Specified package not supported

[maryjane_steele2]

When trying to install NWSAPSETUP by specifying the package (
blah\blah\Setup\NwSapSetup.exe /package:SilabsGUI), I receive the error " The specified package is not supported'. If I just use the /package switch I can select the package with no problems. Any ideas, I am trying to automate the process as much as possible.

Have you tried using the package ID instead of the name?

Hi

The package name should have quotation marks:

blah\blah\Setup\NwSapSetup.exe /package:"SilabsGUI"

I've tried that and I get the same message. For what its worth, on my test installation server it works fine without quotes.

Hey that worked! Thanks!

Hi,

I had a similar problem and I've solved it as follow:

1. create package definition file for your package

2. for installing you can use script e.g.

nwsapsetup.exe /package:"{2523C24C-902D-41B1-BDD5-0593E5C834BF}" /sms

for SapGui7.1+BW

that's all

I''m not sure what you mean by a package definition file.
