How to load .EXE/JARs into ProGet With Upack

[Charles Byrd]

I am attempting to load build artifacts that are create with Bamboo. In this particular case, I am taking an setup.exe file and trying to upload it into ProGet. Here's what I did:

1. I create a simple upack.json file, which contained only the name and version of the file

2. I entered the upack command as follows:

upack C:\location_of_upack_json_file C:\my_setup.exe --targetDirectory=C:\mytargetDir\build_artifacts

Nothing worked. Here are some of the things that happened:

1. FileNotFound exception for the path of the setup.exe file
2. Permission error exceptions (even when I executed up upack with admin privileges).

So my question is this. What is the exact syntax that I need to use upack to upload and download my build artifacts. The ProGet documentation is not exactly concise on this issue. Please advise.

Product: ProGet
Version: 4.7.12

Hello Charles,

upack pack expects a directory, not an individual file, so the command should be:

upack pack C:\location_of_upack_json_file C:\directory_containing_my_setup_exe --targetDirectory=C:\mytargetDir\build_artifacts
