ladiko Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) WIHU Helper for Windows Installation Helper Utility (http://www.kalytta.com/wihu.php)Description:To use filenames in WIHU with wildcards like * (asterisk) and ? (question mark)So you are able to replace a file with a version number in its filename with a newer version in the filename. For example you can replace PDFCreator-9_4_0_setup.exe with PDFCreator-9_5_0_setup.exe without changing WIHU's install.ini file or renaming the file.[*]Example: To execute the file %WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\PDFCreator-9_5_0_setup.exe you can use f.e. one of the following file patterns:command.x = %WIHU%\WIHU_Helper.exe "%WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\PDFCreator-*_setup.exe" /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTARTcommand.x = %WIHU%\WIHU_Helper.exe "%WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\PDFCreator-?????_setup.exe" /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTARTcommand.x = %WIHU%\WIHU_Helper.exe "%WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\PDFCreator-?_?_?_setup.exe" /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTARTcommand.x = %WIHU%\WIHU_Helper.exe "%WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\P*.exe" /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTARTcommand.x = %WIHU%\WIHU_Helper.exe "%WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\*.exe" /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTARTcommand.x = %WIHU%\WIHU_Helper.exe "%WIHU%\Installers\PDFCreator\*.*" /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTART[*]Remarks: Only wildcards in the first parameter's filename are resolvedquestion mark ? = any single letter asterisk * = any number of letters (also no letter)If more than one matching file is found, the first match is used. Files in an NTFS file system are probably always retrieved in alphabetical order. Files in other file systems are retrieved in no particular order.WorkingDir is always set to the folder which is in the first parameterError messages are closed after 10 seconds to not interrupt the unattended installationError codes are passed to WIHU[*]Download: Executable: http://www.autohotkey.net/~ladiko/WIHU_Hel...WIHU_Helper.exeSource: http://www.autohotkey.net/~ladiko/WIHU_Hel...WIHU_Helper.ahkReadme: http://www.autohotkey.net/~ladiko/WIHU_Hel...lper_Readme.txt Edited May 27, 2008 by ladiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
