Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 2015G (64bit) Sr2
Operating System: Windows 7

Hi all,

I want to distribute some of my Filters and Templates and OriginC files to my colleagues. Therefore I managed to pack these files into several packages. Now I've one package which depends on another package and I wanted to install this other package automatically after the first package was installed.
I think these are the neccesary commands: http://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/FileShare-PackageManager#OriginC
But I've no idea how to use them from inside the package manager. Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I suppose one could do the following:

In the "dependent" OPXs, add the following to the After Installation Script. It checks to see if a file in the "base package" has already been installed and if not, it installs the "base package".

if (exist("%Ybase_package\somefile.ogs") == -1) {string strBaseOPXPath="path\to\base_package.opx"; instOPX fname:=str;}

where %Y is the path to users User File Folder and the rest of the paths would need to be corrected for your particular case.

I haven't tested this but you can give it a try.

instOPX Docs: http://www.originlab.com/doc/X-Function/ref/instOPX

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

your supposition works well, thank you very much! I'm just not sure about leaving the file-exists-check in there. When I just use instOPX, the user gets asked whether he wants to reinstall the "base package" if it is already installed or not.

Hm... I will think about it a while. But my initial problem was solved - again: thank you very much!
