Hello all,
Thanks to everyone, particularly the developers, for keeping this project alive!
I wanted to try and give back a little by providing the script I wrote up to install Spark 2.9.x.
Pre-requisites:
- This install script must be in the same network share or folder as the .exe installer and the .exe installer must match line 25 in my script (right now it’s the default name of spark_2_9_0-with-jre.exe).
- You must create a subfolder called AppData_Roaming_Spark in the folder with the InstallSpark.cmd file
- I included the spark.properties file as designed without username= or password with the encrypted password in the file. This will automatically be inserted by the script from the previous spark.properties. If this is a fresh install, the Spark software will automatically add those lines once the user logs in.
- I also included Spark_2_9_0.txt in the folder so the system knows that version is installed and not to overwrite it twice.
- I included a security folder from my profile after adding my self-signed certificates. This way users won’t be prompted with the message about trusting the certificate.
- I also removed reversi, tictactoe, and translator jar files (lines 38 to 47). You may also do this via the spark.properties file but I do this to be sure they aren’t available to the users. Feel free to remove these lines or comment them out.
- I also copy some .wav files over but you can also comment these lines out. (lines 49 to 52)
- Finally, if you want to make this installer quiet, just add a space after the .exe and -q to the end of line 25 (line 25 is: %~dp0spark_2_9_0-with-jre.exe) AND be sure to remove any “pause” lines (13, 26, 82).
