It's run by a member of this very forum (XPerties). I've heard that it's really reliable and cheap. ( 3.95 US a month for 100MB storage and 10GB bandwidth)

Untill you get a new host, if you send me the file, I can upload it to a server temporilary.

How about adding a feature to create several runoncexe's like: first it installs applications, then utilities then games etc. So if you have a long list you can split it into catergories, or just split it as it is.

@Toe_cutter. this is already supported, but i can add the posibility to do it automaticly for you. this won't be done until the next or mabye the version after that.

@everybody, i have currently set my pc up for my website, so don't expect great speeds, but the downloads are comming from another server wich is highspeed. This means that if the current website doesn't work, you can visit my (backup) website here

I really like this program, and the new version is great. Keep up the great work eagle00789.

If you need a file mirror in australia I'd be happy to host the file for you, on a fast server. Not a website, just the file tho. PM me if its any help. Alternative download links are always an asset. (free too)

regards,

Kem

Hm, cant seem to find that feature, unless you mean adding it manually.

Edit:
Another thing, when i added a program with the path %systemdrive\install\ and saved it, i noticed it saved the path like so:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Alcohol 120%" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%%SystemDrive%\Install\setup.exe /qn" /f

i closed the program and reopened it and added another program, it then looked like this:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Alcohol 120%" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%%PP%%SystemDrive%\Install\setup.exe /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Index.dat Suite v2.6.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%%SystemDrive%\Install\idsuite.exe /VERYSILENT" /f

Shouldnt it be more like:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Alcohol 120%" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%setup.exe /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Index.dat Suite v2.6.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%idsuite.exe /VERYSILENT" /f

since %PP% is already set to %systemdrive%\install\ ? guess its a bug :/

this is indeed a small bug. that's why i released this version as a beta release. Thanks for noticing this

Im still getting double %PP% (or more depending on if i reopen it and save several times) if i just open my regonce and save it again :/
Also when hovering over the File->New menu (not any of the two options there) it asks if i want to save my work before creating a new one, or if no changes has been made it just creates a new blank sheet.

Could it be that i just installed the new version over the old one without uninstalling?

Anyway, ive attached it here, ive cleaned it up aswell, so only one %PP% is preceeding the filename.

eagle00789

Jan 4 2005, 07:29 AM

All is going well with this file. i think that you had the program running when you were installing the new version. This small installer-bug will be fixed in the next version

toe_cutter

Jan 4 2005, 07:50 AM

Yeah, but i edited that file by hand. Heres one that ive not edited.

All i did was open it in your program, saved and pressed yes if i wanted to overwrite the one existing and exited.

Then i open it in notepad and i see %PP%%PP%

If i repeat it i get three pp's etc..

Dunno about the installer bug, but that "File->New" hoover bug is pretty annoying

eagle00789

Jan 4 2005, 08:19 AM

In that case, you have to fix the file by hand. i will look into a more suitable solution for this. Also, the hooverbug will be solved.

Actually. i solved it already, but not in the current release. this version will be released in about 2 days

First, thanks for a great piece of software... does the job beautifully!

just thought i would make a report that i am seeing the same issue as toe_cutter, when i save, reopen make adjustments and save again i get double %PP% entires and obviously more if i do it again..

just a minor point but just trying to let you know!

Thanks again

Because the update-function is disabled, because it contained to many problems

This problem was already solved in the latest release. i think you got version 2.6.0.0 beta 1 instead of beta 2

are there any new update on database?

Such as entry for Acrobat Reader 7 etc......?
Java 5 ( well RyanVm has a switchless install ^_^)
Firefox 1.0
Thunderbird

Or just use the old version

eagle,

I have downloaded the latest version available on your site and i am also seeing this problem.

Also when you click on the file menu to save etc as your mouse goes over new, the current document is closed a new document is opened - have you got a mouse over function in there - it seems to be a bug to me.

Further, the when using CDROM variables, the line inserted is incorrect.

CODE

FOR %%i IN (D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z:) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

You should remove the : at their the %%i: or next to each of the drive letters.

Hi eagle,

Any further updates on runonceex creator?

You may wanted to add this little file i put together for testing runonceex functions...

Test your RunOnceEx the easy way

amp_man

Feb 20 2005, 12:20 PM

Felix is right, I was just about to post the same thing. This error causes the RunOnceEx to not run at all (you can see my thread about it in Unattended Windows). Also, a few other minor things: whenever you click the file menu, it asks to save...is this supposed to be like this? It's very annoying. Also, could you possibly modify the numbering so it's like this (or with even a larger gap, I use 5):

QUOTE

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installation des programmes" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Messenger 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\MSN.exe /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "MSN++" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\msnplus.exe /silent" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "regedit /s %systemdrive%\install\msnreg.reg " /f

don't anyone b*tch about quote/code, I did that intentionally!

This will make it much easier to go back in and manually edit afterwards, if needed.

New version has been released. The bug with the %PP% has been resolved for real this time. i checked, double checked and checked it again to make sure it works this time. The new version number is 2.6.0.0 (beta 3). Also, this version has a new about screen in wich you can see all the versions of the files. The new downloadlocation (so that i can keep track of the downloadcount) can be found in the first post of this thread

Hi all,

@ eagle00789: I got a hold of your project to and have to say !!!!!Very good work. Keep on going!!! On thing though, when I try to update an app into the database I get an error after klicking ok:

tblPrograms: Field 'Command1' not found

What is this????

Regards shortie

eagle00789

Feb 23 2005, 08:46 AM

i think you have a new version with an old database. I will look further into it.
[edit]
To solve this problem, i will create a new database for the next version. This means that the database will be replaced in the next version, but after that, all will be fine

eagle00789

Feb 23 2005, 09:18 AM

Whoops. forgot to mention that the cdrom problem has been solved also in beta 3. the new line is:

CODE

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

eagle00789

Feb 23 2005, 04:06 PM

Things to do for the next version:

When a program is selected in the list, if insert is clicked, the new program will insert below the selected one (done)
Add the programs suggested by some users to the database
Finish the plugin-support for loading (done) as wel as saving(in progress)
Create a SDK so that you can add any extension for saving and loading Will have to wait one version
Change the installer, so that it will ask you if you want to overwrite it. this will not be done, it will be changed to: "Create a second table in the database to seperate the user-added entries from the included entries"
The ability to move multiple items in the list
A MRU list in the file menu
To be able to undo stuff

eagle,

beta 3 looks great and very functional...

When you select an item to move, can you either select the item and it's child items or multiple select? this would be handy

In the file menu a history would be good so that you can open previously edited files without having to go looking for them.

The only other thing i think is needed is an undo function "like ctrl z" other than that i think it is all there from my prospective
