Will do that, but not yet included. In the mean time, you can do fine with this one. it includes an installer/uninstaller for easy use for a beginner. A descent help-file is being created. Click this linkNote: The other file is no longer available at my server. i deleted it. I also included a nice aboutbox. I wonder who is able to find it

I Have a webserver, that came with my Internet Service Provider. i can put 25 mb up that webserver, so space is not a problem. the speed is perfect, so that is not a problem either.The dones dont mean that if you downoad now, that the are available.

I just resumed the work on it, and am taking the following points: Todo: the main window isn't resizable (done) "Add Command" dialog box doesn't have a "Cancel" button (done) the main window isn't centered on screen by default (done) Finish the saving (done) Add the ability to edit a command (done) Ask to overwrite an existing RunOnceEx.cmd file (done) Create an installer (done) Thanks for some of those tips mazin I will be editing this post to see the progress.

i'm now in the process of reinstalling my development tools. (i haven't found any silent switches for it yet)

i'm going to change that. thx for those tips just still no luck on the reinstall of my pc yet

in about an hour, i'm going to unattend install my pc, then i have to reinstall my development-apps and then i can continue with the work i'm doing on Easy RunOnceEx.cmd v1.0b. In that hour, i'm also continuing that work.

I use XPlode launch from cmdlines.txt and from RunOnceEx, but still having problems with the running of xplode from cd when called from runonceex

so this means that i have to change my batchfile to: cmdow @ /HID SETX CDROM %CD:~0,2% -m @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installeren van programma's" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Programma's installeren" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\apps\xplode\xplode.exe /xml:\"%SOURCEDRIVE%\apps\xplode\xplode.xml\"" /f Is this correct then?

I already transfered from RunOnceEx.cmd to xplode, but i have 1 problem remaining. i have a small runonceex.cmd file left that runs at t-12 so that the xplode install runs at first-logon (automaticly logon). the file is below: cmdow @ /HID SETX CDROM %CD:~0,2% -m @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installeren van programma's" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Programma's installeren" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\apps\xplode\xplode.exe /xml:\"%cdrom%\apps\xplode\xplode.xml\"" /f the setx command is the same as set, but setx saves the enviroment variabele so that it is available even after several reboots and more (thats what the -m is for). i confirmed that the enviroment variabele exists, and even tryed %cdrom% at it's own in a cmd.exe windows, and it works perfect. only, it doesn't work from t-12. do you have a clue

I'm releasing a first beta version of this program. To download. follow this link: Click this link To add multiple commands under 1 program name, just leave the field Program Name blank. Deleteing or editing of commands is not jet supported Loading is only supported by 2 lines (no commands yet) Saving is fully supported A website is being created for this

updated to fix an error. see my second post for that

ghost makes a sector-by-sector image, thus automaticly formatting (while copying) your partition (or harddrive if you made a hd backup instead of partition). this means that you don't have to format the drive before setting a ghost-image back

in that case, i wait until the release of sp2 dutch and slipstrem is and hack the file again

I use a custom boot image to show at boot (the one i use is this one), and i packed it with makecab and put it in the i386 folder. it boots with this one the first time, but the second time it's back to the original. what is going on? i do run several update at t-12

thx. but it took me about an hour to figure this one out

I'm going to answer my own question again. Just put this at the top of any .js-file to let it see your cdrom. thisDrive = WScript.ScriptFullName; thisDrive = thisDrive.substr(0,3); the variable thisDrive wil contain something like "d:\" then use it like thisDrive + "the rest of the path"

I know, the topic title is a bit wierd in this forum, but: I just changed all my batchfiles so that i use only .js-files and XPlode. The problem i have now, is this: I run all the installations from the cd, but to succesfull run a few installations, i made a .js wrapper around it. these .js-files run the actual installer. in those .js files are still paths to %systemroot%. what variabele do i have to use, so that it will look in the correct folder on the cd. (i already posted this in the xplode forum part, but i just reported that post, as i think it doesn't belong there)

my guess is that you are missing some images that you use in the xml file

I know, the topic title is a bit wierd in this forum, but: I just changed all mu batchfiles so that i use only .js-files and XPlode. The problem i have now, is this: I run all the installations from the cd, but to succesfull run a few installations, i made a .js wrapper around it. these .js-files run the actual installer. in those .js files are still paths to %systemroot%. what variabele do i have to use, so that it will look in the correct folder on the cd.

just before the questionmark, there is a movie showing. (atleast on my pc to). it is a movie wich states windows xp and a waving flag in white. the file he means is i386\intro.wm_ (it's packed, but that's the movie he means)

Why make it your selve so hard? dont use: var oExec = WshShell.Exec("systemdrive\Install\Codecs\DivX\DivXPro502Bundle.exe");but use var oExec = WshShell.Exec("%systemroot%\\Install\\Codecs\\DivX\\DivXPro502Bundle.exe");now you can delete the lines process = WshShell.Environment("PROCESS"); systemdrive = process("SYSTEMDRIVE"); from your script. it's a hel simpler this way

The problem seemd to be on my hand, that i was saving it as ansi and not as unicode

For a small test, i'm running xplode on my already installed pc with the following xml-file <XPlode> <config> <hidewindow>XP-Update Installation</hidewindow> <hidewindow>CMD.EXe</hidewindow> <show total='6' after='2' /> <font face='Tahoma' antialias='true' small='8' large='12' /> <window width='440' position='4' fixmain='0' /> <windowmode>Standalone</windowmode> <colours> <header back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFFAA' image='%XPLODE%\images\head.png' /> <footer back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFFAA' image='%XPLODE%\images\foot.png' /> <progress border='#FFFFFFAA' back='#00000000' fore='#FFFFFFAA' /> <main back='#4A6FD6' fore='#FFFFFFAA' current='#FF8000' description='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\main.png' overlay='#FFFFFF22'/> </colours> <strings> <!-- main XPlode string --> <title>XP-Update Installation</title> <complete>complete</complete> </strings> </config> <items> <item display='sleep 500'> <execute display='Installing XP Rollup 1..' program='%XPLODE%\sleep.exe' arguments='20' /> </item> </items> </XPlode> however, it's not executing the sleep command (i don't see it in the task list when pressing ctrl+alt+delete). there is a windows opening so fast, that i can't even take a screenshot of it. any clues? the program sleep.exe is in the same directory is xplode.exe.

The best place for this is in the RunOnceEx.cmd file. the wpa.dbl file is not protected, so it wil be accepted (atleast on my machine)

yes, it is. i'm having some small troubles with the recognition of a few special lines. Also, i'm already planning a new version. The new version wil contain a database of known programs, and is self-extendable (you can add your own programs), it also is updateable via the net.
