Over some period of time I’ve got tired of installing Fab. 40 templates solutions over and over again.
The time had come to write a script that allows for faster installation. This script will only install solutions associated with Fab 40 package, it’s up to you to upload site templates into site template gallery.
Bob Fox has graciously provided space on his server for this script, Thanks Bob!
Here is how to use this script:
1. Download Fabulous 40 templates from this location.
2. Run the downloaded file, this action will unzip all files into specified location
3. Download the script (right mouse click -> Save Target As), you can probably copy and paste it into notepad from here, but there is a big chance you will have to struggle with some hidden characters and the script will have hiccups J
4. Open this file in notepad and modify the first line
@SET SLNDIRECTORY=C:\Apps\
Change C:\Apps\ to the location where you unzipped your Fab 40 files to (keep the last slash)
5. Save the script with .cmd extension instead of txt
6. Run it from your server
This script will keep your server busy for a while, you might get “Service Unavailable” until the script stops and all timer jobs are finished (which is usually not longer than couple of minutes), but if you have users in your environment, run it during off-hours. This will install all solutions in one shot and globally deploy them immediately.
In your Central Administration, under solutions management check for all 20 solutions.
As the last step upload all .stp files into your site templates gallery.
Here is the source for the script, but you can download it here
:
@SET SLNDIRECTORY=C:\Apps\
@SET STSADM="c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\bin\stsadm.exe"

Thank you!
Great! I never got around to sharing my script based on this post http://alpesh.nakars.com/blog/wssv3-application-template-installation/
I even installed STP using scripts, so I don't have to upload them :-)
I will try to upload my scripts this weekend :)
This is great, it did not cross my mind to install STP using script. share it :-)
You have a typo in your script:
%STSADM% -o addsolution -filename %SLNDirectory%obRequisition.wsp
As far as the STP script goes, here's what I use. Copy and paste it to notepad to make it more readable:

REM This batch file can be used to add the twenty Site Definition Templates (STP) to the Central Admin
REM Gallery, so that they can be used for the root site in a new site collection.
REM Run this from the directory on the server where you saved the Site Definition Templates.
REM For the following to run, the location of stsadm must be in your path.
REM If you installed WSS to the default location, you can uncomment the following line which will add the path

I've been scripting the 40 for some time and use another approach with a smaller script where you can just add/remove the wsp you do not like: http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/Install-script-for-the-SharePoint-Application-Templates.aspx

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real income.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
