Currently in our project we have automated SOAP UI test cases. Our requirement is to run these automated scripts from command line. So is there anyway to generate a batch program to execute these instead of running from the soap GUI?
Thanks,
Kumar
Yes, it is very much possible.
SoapUI provides utilities under SOAPUI_HOME/bin directory.
testrunner.bat( or.sh) utility helps to execute the project command line. This has various options as well.
For more details, refer documentation.

Is there an equivalent to Powershell make? The equivalent of make/rake/cake/py-make, even Gulp...etc? I primarily desire a task runner for build automation. I want to be able to select and compose tasks like I can in Gulp.
Ideally, the solution would be native to Powershell. There are very tight security restrictions on software installations for the project. The power of Google has failed me.
nothing built-in, but there are different solutions like psake or invoke-build. maybe something else.
You can also use VScode for that, you can define tasks (basically run scripts or something) and run them on save or on check out, etc
we have application that needs to simply copy somefiles from source to destination and manipulate config files based on the environment. We use Jenkins for deployment. Since i am comfortable with C# i thought of writing simple console application (.exe ) and invoke that exe on post-deployment by passing some command line argument. and i think this would work.
But i see people are recommending power-shell for deployment. and i have used PS for other projects for deployment.
i just wanted to know what powershell can do that windows console application cannot do?
Since PowerShell could be wholly embedded (not really the right term but it works for this explanation) in C# , there's nothing you could do in PowerShell that couldn't also be achieved in C#.
You can also embed C# in PowerShell, but for various reasons you don't get exactly the same scope of functionality that you can with an .exe.
The point of using PowerShell has to do with the context of it being part of a deployment step.
A PowerShell command or script is more easily changed. A build process is not required.
Its contents are more readily visible and readable to someone who wants to understand the process.
The code written will (likely) be less verbose, further making it easier to understand, and for deployment steps it may be much more straightforward to do those steps in PowerShell (a single cmdlet may do what would be several (dozen) lines in C#).
Has anyone had success setting up automated builds for MATLAB code? We are manually compiling our MATLAB code into EXE's and distributing them to our servers. If anyone has found a good way to automate this, I'd love to hear it.
By "manually compiling" do you mean using mcc directly or are you already using deploytool?
Most build servers can automate the execution of a executable file. So simply use the build server to automate the build by calling the mcc.exe compiler and then handling its output...
I have a installation setup with works like this: /exec.exe /some-command
This whole setup is located on a shared disk to which my target machine have access to. All i want is to create a small MSI wrapper that basically executes the above command. I don't need to any other fancy things?
I looked up on the web; there are tools that create MSI for you but they generate huge amount of other things with them as well.
My need is very simple and straight forward. It would be great if some could help me with this issue.
Thanks,

With WiX it is very simple to create a MSI-Wrapper that just executes a custom action firing up a command line.
MSI seems like the wrong tool for the job in this instance. A big reason that MSI's are popular, is because they allow for easy install/uninstall in one package (among many other things).
I'd suggest using a simple batch (or vbscript, or perl script, or whatever) wrapped up in a self-extracting executable. This way you can include custom logic, all without the overhead of the MSI. Besides, you aren't using any of the functionality of an MSI --- except that it wraps up files into a single file.
You can use a pay program such as WinZip Self-Extractor, or you can use 7-zip (free) and a GUI app someone has written to create self-extracting EXE's: 7-ZIP SFX MAKER
I've used 7-zip sfx maker before, and I can vouch that it works very well.
I need to make installation file (.exe), but is that possible with batch script and how?
I made installation with some software (Deployment...) but I need to do that with script. I have all necessary files for my installation.
Is that possible?

Virtually every tool for building installation packages provides ability to include arbitrary sripts to the installation process. Just inspect your tool for this capability...
Here, we often include sripts in our WIX installations. Of course, user expirience is better when you building installation package nativelly, but in some cases this is acceptable practice (mostly when there is no non-tech users planned).
With a batch script, you will not be able to make a .exe (unless you call a .exe creator from within the batch script!). Why not try Inno Setup or NSIS? ISTool helps in creating Inno Setup scripts with ease and speed.
You can't make an .exe using nothing but a batch script. You can however use a batch script to create the installation specification file(s) and then run that file through an installer creator program like the ones mentioned in the other answers here. Perhaps you could be a bit clearer about what you actually need to do?
