Script to Automate the WSP deployment and to activate features

This post is regarding the usage of a simple script to automate the wsp installation and featue activation. Whenever we want to deploy components like custom web parts,  custom user control and custom application pages etc. we use sharepoint solution packages for deployment and then we activate the respective features manually. It is a tediou job to install the wsps and  activate the features manually, if we have multiple solution packages to be deployed. To automate this, we can use the the following script to install wsp and activate features.

 :begin
@echo off

set solutionName=Custom.MyTask
set SolutionPath=D:\Custom\Custom.MyTask.wsp
set featureSampleFeature1=Custom.MyTask
set featureSampleFeature2=Custom.MyTaskWPDeployment
set featureSampleFeature3=Custom.MyTask.WebConfigChange
