Nuno Brito Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi,Just introducing myself to WUD and I'm surprised to see such a nifty little tool - will surely give it a lot of good use to build install CD'sI've read the topic about unattended builds but it could still use a few more options (if possible).The ideal configuration would be using a standard INI file instead of the windows registry.This would help in two things1 - Make WUD portable (put on a pendisk or any other folder)2 - Let other apps configure all possible options inside WUD and run it with these customizations--------------------------A possible INI file could perhaps be similar to this:[options]default_update_list=Windows XP aAbBcCdDdownload_folder=c:\XP-Unattended\AddonsProduct_as_subfolder=FalseCategory_as_subfolder=TrueShow_Publish_dates=FalseShow_description_tooltips=TrueMinimize_to_tray=FalseRemove_unlisted_files=False[proxy]username=password=address=port=use_proxy=Falseuse_authentication=Falseauthentication=------------------------Would also be good to define a location for placing all the UL files instead of the root folder or it can get a bit difficult to organize the folder.Hope this feedback helps - good work with WUD!

jcarle Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Nice suggestions. I'll definately keep that in mind for WUD v3. Now that Visual Studio 2008 has been released I have to familiarize myself with WPF to build the next release. Considering WPF is a completely new approach to programming, it's going to take a little getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Brito Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply! I've done some extra work yesterday and I'm testing automated integration with nLite.So far things are looking good enough and I can write the registry to match the selected download folder.Only one detail noticed by other members - some files don't seem prepared to be directly integrated, would be good to have some nlite aware options.Good luck with your programming.

I tried working with nuhi, unfortunately, he was unwilling to work together to provide seemless integration with WUD. That why instead I added third party command-line options to allow others to write their own integration scripts. IIRC, he mentioned that there was already enough code to maintain in nLite.
