Multi-Config Install in 2.3?

Post by jbilleter » Mon Oct 17, 2011 8:21 pm

I'm using build 2.3.11147

What is the method of creating a Multi-Config Install? The External Announcement 2.3 Product Release PDF mentions that the Multi button has been replaced with the Tools button, and that Multi-Config is an option under Tools.

In the Core manual, on page 17, there is no mention of a Multi-Config install and I cannot locate it in under the Tools button. Is there something I'm missing? I have attempted saving the update.tar.gz files in the same format as before (My Documents/Murphy Configurations/Version 2.3/ etc.) and I still cannot locate the Multi-Config Install.

Thank you for the help.

Hello jbilleter,

The tool to create multiconfig installs is now a command line tool so you can make batch file to automate the task.

The name of the tool is Murphy.MultipackageGenerator and it is found in your Program Files.
\Program Files\FWMurphy\PowerVision Configuration Studio 2.3\MultiConfig\

The tool takes the full paths of the output file and input files (update.tar.gz) as arguments:

>Murphy.MultiPackageGenerator "output file" "input config 0" "input config 1" ...

If the paths contain spaces make sure to put them inside quote marks.

Regards,
