help with setup.ini and deployment.

[BIMologist_]

In the past I have been successful in messing around and geting the setup.ini file modified to install my application after Autocad installs the deployment. This way I get a one click install. Now in 2008 it does not seem to work, even though I tried replkicating the setup.ini in my ACAD2008.ini file (the deployment ini)


#==================== Install Execute & UI Sequence

EXE_SEQUENCE=ACAD;DWFV;DWGCOMPARE;GBBNINST;GBBNNONET
UI_SEQUENCE=WelcomeDlg;BeginDeploymentDlg;ProductSelectionDlg;LicenseDlg;UserInformationDlg;LogSettingDlg;ConfirmSetupDlg;ACAD;DWFV;DWGCOMPARE;GBBNINST;GBBNNONET;FullProgressDlg;InstallCompleteDlg;DeploymentCompleteDlg;DeploymentFailedDlg

#==================== GBBNINST

[GBBNINST]
PRODUCT_NAME=GBBN 2008 Customizations
EXE_PATH=GBBN\GBBNINST2008.exe
EXE_PARAM=/silent
ACTION=INSTALL
IGNORE_FAILURE=YES

#==================== GBBNNoNet

[GBBNNONET]

EXE_PATH=GBBN\GBBNNONET2008.exe
EXE_PARAM=/verysilent
ACTION=INSTALL
IGNORE_FAILURE=YES
LOG=%tmp%\GBBNNONET.log
INSTALL_TYPE=4

The deployment will not launch it at the end of the install. I looked at the Setup.ini and it does similar thing as well with suplemental tools, like SAMReport etc. But it wont work for mine. ANy help would be great
Thanks
