  1. I get the same error, in VMWare (haven't tested on a live system), but it also happens with just the service pack slipstreamed (by nLite, but that shouldn't make any difference).

    I did some testing, and it seems the partition size has something to do with it. Normally I use a partition of 16GB, but when I decreased that to 10GB the error disappeared and setup continued as normal.

    Update: Scratch that and never mind me. For some reason it works like it should now and I can't reproduce the error.

  2. Hi Mars, I like your program, but there are some bugs in it.

    One is the command numbering. If a number in the sequence is missing the program stop processing that item.

    The %startup% variable seems to be defective. Attached are my ini and log files, and both times where I use %Startup% it fails

    In the log are some other errors as well, which I can't explain. Please have a look at it and fix the problem, or let me know what's wrong in my ini file. I triple checked all the files, and they are where they are supposed to be.

    Also I have one little feature request: more customizability. I would like to adjust all the window colors,etc.

    Thanks for your time and keep up the good work

  3. I have a weird problem that i can't figure out. I run the attached script (which I assembled from various bits and pieces I found on the forums, so thanks to anyone who has contributed) from RunOnceEx, but it fails. What seems to happen is that the cdrom variable doesn't get set, causing the mountvol command to fail as well.

    When I run the exact same script in my xp32 UA cd, it runs without any problems. Also at the moment the script is paused and I run the script in a new CMD window, it runs fine as well so I'm pretty positive the script is fine.

    If anyone has any idsea why this happens, and how to solve it, please let me know.

    :DRIVEMGT
    rem call %systemdrive%\install\scripts\mapdrive.cmd ENU
    for %%i in (d: e: f:) do if exist %%i\drive.set for /f %%j in (%%i\drive.set) do call %systemdrive%\install\runonceex\drivemgt2.cmd %%i %%j

    :SETCD
    FOR /F "tokens=3" %%A IN ('ECHO list volume ^| DISKPART.EXE ^| FIND.EXE "-ROM "') DO SET CDROM=%%A:
    FOR /F "tokens=*" %%B IN ('MOUNTVOL %CDROM% /L') DO SET VOLGUID=%%~B

    MOUNTVOL %CDROM% /D
    MOUNTVOL R: %VOLGUID%

    pause

  4. Then I misunderstood how it works, but the change would be great. So for now a DRIVE.D file on the D: drive etc should solve my problem?

    By the way, I don't think the script checks if an optical drive is a writer or not. I have a script which does that. It's a bit quick and dirty (well more dirty than quick), and quite limited, but it pretty much works. I attached it, feel free adapt it and include in MAPDRIVE, because I've reached the limit of my batcj scripting skills with this.

    I run it from guirunonce. In an earlier stage I run detectcd (I thin from Icemannd), which writes any CD letters as an environment variable to the registry, then use this to run the script

    for %%I in (%CDROM1% %CDROM2%) do call %systemdrive%\install\scripts\cd.cmd %%I

    cd.cmd.txt

  5. So, to reassign the drive E: to K:, you should create a file DRIVE.K in E:\

    But, I see there is still an error in my script :( because of the "E: -> none" : I will correct it in a few hours. Could you send me the .log file after running MAPDRIVE.CMD with TEST as the 2d parameter to help me debugging.

    Thanks.

    That's what I have. But even so, I definetely don't have any DVD.Y or Z files anywhere or a DRIVE.X on D.

    I'll double check all the files and run the test this evening.

  6. What I did at some point (with Thunderbird, but I reckon it would work with Firefox as well) is add the xpi to the install files before remaking it into an sfx, and adding the relevant entry to config.ini, since all components are xpi anyways. After the setup the minimizetotray.xpi was indeed installed and working.

    I stumbled upon it by accident, and realized I had to redo it for every new version, so the install-global way would be a lot easier. But I think it would be fairly easy to automate; the syntax is pretty straightforward (and probably documented in detail).

  7. If the section only has one command (which is hidden) entire section will disappear.

    Could you change this, or make a setting which causes to show the Section, even if all commands are hidden? The commands are just parts of the setup, so they don't need to be visible, but the section should be to still be able to (de)select it.

  8. Benjamin, nice work. It looks promising, but it looks like there's a bug.

    I'm just getting used to it, seeing what it can do, so I tried the following ini file:

    [Windows System Files]

    ; Sub command 0
    description.0=Windows Media Player 9
    command.0=cmd /c echo 0-wmp9 > c:\wihu.txt
    selected.0 = 0
    hide.0=1

    ; Sub command 1
    description.1=DirectX 9.0b Driver
    command.1=cmd /c echo 1-dx9 >> c:\wihu.txt
    selected.1 = 0
    hide.1=1

    ; Sub command 2
    description.2=Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
    command.2=cmd /c echo 2-dotnetfx >> c:\wihu.txt
    selected.2 = 0
    hide.2=0

    Now, when I run wuhi /SkipSettings /SkipRestart it shows "Windows System Files" and below that "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1" as you would expect.

    When you check Windows system Files and click next, only commands 0 and 1 are run.

    When you check Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 only command 0 is run.

    This can't be right, can it?

    By the way, does anybody have a tool to convert an xplode xml file to a wihu.ini? I'm not looking forward to converting my entire setup!

    And on a more serious note: Is there a way (or could you add it?) to have wihu skip the status screen, so that it doesn't require input to exit?

  9. I sent it to the mailing list as well, but I'll post it here for redundancy:

    Since you asked, apart from Installation Selection there are two things

    I would like in the Shortcut plugin:

    • to select the icon for the shortcut,
    • set how the shortcut is run (normal window, minimized, etc)

    As for helping out: I'm not a coder, or web developer, but if need be I

    could see what I can do with the documentation (although there seem to

    be plenty who volunteered to do that).

  10. Some people are unable to get their IE&OE patches installed for some reason. I don't know why to be honest.

    There are two different versions of both files. One for IE 6, and one for IE 6 SP1 (and similar for OE).

    You can check by searching microsoft.com for 828750 for the IE fix, and 330994 for OE; you'll get 2 different downloads.

    This puzzled me for a while as well, until i tried to just run the fix in Windows. It then told me i had an incorrect version of IE6.

    btw maybe it's a good idea to update the Hotfixes list with this.
