Wraith Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 XPlode 1.0.5Download: http://xplode.voidfx.com/downloads/Changes for 1.0.5:Moved the XML to unicode for localisation support.Rewrote the XML parserChanged file access methodCleaned up redundant codeChanges for 1.0.4:Documentation is essentially the same as 1.0.2 - all other changes have been commented in the example XML.Specific changes are:config.strings.shortcutitems.item.shortcutitems.item.copyitems.item.moveitems.item.deleteitems.item.executePlease use the bugtracker to report anything.Notes:Try not to log in as a different user for a lot of applications - it is slower to start the program.Do not use antialiasing when in GUIinstall mode - it will blur the text with the transparent colour - magenta.Try not to use transparent colours for the same purpose. For anyone that doesn't want to read the docs (a lot of you I'm sure), the colours are in the format #RRGGBBAA, #RRGGBB being the normal HTML-style colouring, and AA is the alpha transparency value. When in GUI-install, set AA to either 00 or FF, depending on full transparency, or full opacity.I'll hopefully update the docs within the next few days. First week of uni is always hectic...

Wraith Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Just an update for the execute plugin - it should function as it did in 1.0.2 when not running under a different user context.If you want to run as a different user, fully qualified paths must be used, and they MUST point to an executable.So if you want to run a *.msi, the executable needs to be %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\msiexec.exe, and the arguments would be the msi file. It does NOT use file associations.Thank Microsoft for not supporting the function for it in XP. And, to be honest, I'm too busy to write an equivalent.Plugin for execute attached, will release a full 1.0.4 soon.XPlodeExecute.xpd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Just a note for the new XML parser... in XPlode 1.0.5.It WILL NOT run existing XML's, you need to convert your XML to Unicode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 I have no ide why it would've run slower - nothing has changed as far as executing things...At least, there are no extra steps involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 did you happen to run Hotfixes without the /O option in the newer versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Sorry for the slow responce, i got caught up in a family party. :beer: @Wrait/AlanollAs i promised i have used the v1.05 and did a full unattend install.Calling it from within my winnt.sif:[GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\Postinstall\XPlode\XPlode.exe /log:#Systemdrive#\XPlode.log"But again it didn't work out the i think it's supposed to do..Took like more than an hour to finish with the XPlode prog. I made an 1cd install on my second pc, and left office2k3 & Nav12k3 out because of space saving.When i looked at the log file, which i lost, it says that it took only about 12/15 minutes to finish. uhhh? it was around an hour! Even the hotfixes took a few minutes each. Next thing to do was burn a new cd with the v1.00 and that install went so fast i couldn't even finish a cup of coffee.Dunno what i do wrong or what's the problem, but i am very happy with the XPlode install that i'm willing do what it takes to help (me/you)I attached my xml file so tell me please what u think of it or what is wrong.Perhaps u can/will provide me an almost simulair one to test it again?When i get the english version running i will provide u a screenie of a dutch language install XPlode.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 I think I'll start timestamping each event...Probably make it easier to see wtf is going on.Might see if I can shift things into high priority to run too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 When i read ure comment i believe it means that u don't really know what can cause my problem? Perhaps someone can provide a good working set of files with only the standard things in the xml file so that i can give that one a try and see what happens!?edit:I mean the 1.05 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
