[Libusb-win32-devel] Re-packing installer fails - 7zip issues?

From: Rafael S. <rs...@be...> - 2018-04-09 18:44:31

Hi,
I'm attempting to use InfWizard to create an installer for a custom USB
device (this alone works fine), but I need it to be silent. To that end I'm
attempting to modify the dpinst.xml file with the silent option (which also
works on its own), but I can't repackage an installer.
The re-pack.cmd script always fails with a 7zip error ("-ai switch not
valid for this command").

I've tried manually performing that step, but I have not been able to
repackage a working installer.

Is this a known current bug?

Cheers,
Rafael

Greetings,

Well that's annoying.  Apparently 7zip changed their syntax a good long 
while ago.

Thankfully, You can still get the one you need!  Get version 9.20.

Has no-one tried this function in the last 8 years and reported this bug?
Interesting...

I'll give this a shot, thanks for the pointer though.

Should I file this somewhere?

Cheers,
