[Condor-users] Windows configuration using msiexec

["Pasniewski, Michal" <michal.pasniewski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

I am new Condor user. 

Below is the script I use to install the client on Windows XP Pro SP2.  

1) It looks like some options are not taken into account, for example I
set POOLHOSTNAME name and it gets set in the config but when I set
JVMLOCATION to NONE, I still get the location of JVM on the PC in
condor_config (after installation).  It's a (minor) issue as I cannot
later reinstall Condor without killing some Java processes that use the
same JVM.

2) More important for me is to figure out a way to add
ADD_WINDOWS_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION=False at the end of the config file
(because of the "slow startup" bug) and/or install the windows service
but not start it (so that I can put my own custom config file) and issue
"net start condor" command. Is there a way to do that?

Michal
