  Hi!
  
  I’m currently trying to create docker images for our build pipelines. One problem I came across is that gclm_deploy.exe just does not do anything in the docker container.
  
  If I use it as part of the docker script nothing happens and also if I run the container and then call the executable nothing happens either.

  FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022
  
  SHELL ["powershell","-command"]
  
  RUN "Invoke-WebRequest https://cdn.grapecity.com/license/gclm_deploy.exe -OutFile C:\gclm_deploy.exe"
  
  RUN Start-Process -FilePath "C:\gclm_deploy.exe" -Wait

  I can copy the whole GrapeCity folder from my own ProgramData without problems (and that is my current workaround), but I can’t get the gclm_deploy.exe itself to do anything inside the Docker container.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi,

  We are testing this issue. We need some time to set up Docker environment. Will let you know once we test this issue.
  
  For now you can use the workaround to copy the files[gclm.exe, gclm.exe.config, and package_file] to the gclm folder.

  Hi,

  As per the licensing team, The previous versions before v2.0 of gclm_deploy.exe has known problems running in the command line, because it is designed to run with UI. However, these problems have been fixed in v2.0 (the latest version at https://cdn.grapecity.com/license/gclm_deploy.exe).
  
  Running gclm_deploy.exe creates a folder: C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm. And put gclm.exe and gclm.exe.config file in that folder.
  
  As per the licensing team, Copying files manually is better for the users. It makes all steps under the control of users.
  
  However, both have the same process, you can opt anyone.

  For the gclm_deploy.exe, you can try the below command and let us know if this works for you or not:

  Start-Process -FilePath "gclm_deploy.exe" -ArgumentList "-d" -RedirectStandardOutput  "gclm_deploy_log.txt" -Wait

  It should generate the required files under gclm folder.

  Best Regards,

  Hi Nitin,

  thank you very much!
  
  The key thing is the “-d” parameter apparently. I did not find that anywhere.
