Use Runtime Deployment Tool via Command Line?

KeithGemeinhart — Wed, 08 May 2013 17:36:24 GMT

Greetings,

I'd like to be able to use the WPF Runtime (10.1.1) Deployment tool via the command line. If I run DeploymentTool.exe /? on the command line, I get the dialog in the attached image. The /c option indicates support for using a config file. I cannot find documentation on the config file format. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Apparently when you create a configuration in the tool, it is stored in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESRI\ArcGIS Runtime SDK\Settings. If any additional information is stored elsewhere, I can't find it.

Hi,

Configurations are created by the Runtime Deployment Tool in C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\ArcGIS\Runtime Configurations. It's recommended that you create a number of configurations representing different deployments then pass those in to the deployment tool when using it via command line.

Cheers

Mike

Mike, Thanks for the reply!

However, I found some inconsistency between the two methods of using the tool.

1. Using the application, with a deployment folder of C:\MyProject\build\runtime, project name of TestDeploy, and a version of 0.0.1 produces the following collection of files and folders:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]24188[/ATTACH]

2. However, if I use these same arguments from the command line ...
>C:\ArcGIS\WPF10.1.1\tools\DeploymentTool.exe /t C:\MyProject\build\runtime /c TestDeploy.config
I get only a subset of the picture above:

The resources, client64 and client32 folders are created as siblings to the runtime (i.e. target folder)

Anything previously in the runtime folder is removed.

There is no TestDeploy0.0.1.rtf

There is no parent folder structure of TestDeply0.0.1/ArcGisRuntime10.1.1

Additionally, if the deployment target folder doesn't already exist, the command line method fails while the application will create the folder.

Do you have any insight into this?
