install_options with package in windows

[kaustubh chaudhari]

Hi Team,

I am trying to install vda with puppet.

#VDAServerSetup.exe /quiet /components vda,plugins /controllers "mydev.example.com" /enable_hdx_ports /optimize /enable_remote_assistance /virtualmachine /nodesktopexperience /noreboot

Above is the commend line parameters i need to use with the setup file.

I tried many ways of get this parameters with install_options but no luck.
one option was as below without luck.

install_options => ['/components vda,plugins', '/controllers mydev.example.com', '/enable_hdx_ports', '/optimize', '/enable_remote_assistance', '/virtualmachine', '/nodesktopexperience', '/noreboot'],

Any idea how can i pass these parameters to the installer ?

Hi All,

Any guidance on providing these install parameters would be really helpful.

Have you tried splitting keys and values?

install_options => ['/components', 'vda,plugins', '/controllers', 'mydev.example.com', '/enable_hdx_ports', '/optimize', '/enable_remote_assistance', '/virtualmachine', '/nodesktopexperience', '/noreboot'],

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,

Yes I did that. The problem is :
below are the install parameters with its options.

/components vda,plugins
when we add this in key value settings ['/components', 'vda,plugins'] How it will be treated as there is a , in between vda and plugins.

I have tried the option you mentioned but no luck.

It should be fine, unless you also need a space between the values. It puts all of the elements of the array back together with a space in between. If there is a space in any element, it will surround that with quotes. In the chocolatey package provider we've talked over the logic for determining how to pass your install_options[1].

This is very close.

 

/quiet /components vda,plugins /controllers "mydev.example.com" /enable_hdx_ports /optimize /enable_remote_assistance /virtualmachine /nodesktopexperience /noreboot

should translate as

 install_options => ['/components', 'vda,plugins', '/controllers',  '"mydev.example.com"', '/enable_hdx_ports', '/optimize', '/enable_remote_assistance', '/virtualmachine', '/nodesktopexperience', '/noreboot'],

If you are finding that the components bit isn't quite being passed correctly, you may try surrounding that part with quotes to see if it handles the "," correctly. As in "vda,plugins". But as I mentioned already, if there is a space, you need to split this one up as well. Something like 'vda,','plugins'

You can also run with --debug --verbose and see how it is passing the options so you can see how you need to adjust.
