XPlode can't call XPlode?

[boomboommusic]

Hello Everybody.

Two questrion for today

I) First Question:

I would like to dispatch my install like that:

-Install-1

-program1

-program2

-program3

-Install-2

-program1

-program2

-program3

-Install-3

-program1

-program2

-program3

To do that i want to create an Xplode name <title=installation>

which launch:

-install1

-install2

-install3

Install1 call a second XPlode , name <title=install1> wich install: -program1

-program2

-program3

and etc...

i have try to do that with this code:

<item display='Call install1'>
    <execute display='Veuillez Patienter.'
      program='%windir%\XPlode.exe'
           arguments=' /xml:"#XPLODE#\install1.xml"'/>
  	</item>

i have delete the log cause i hope it was the problem..but it was not..

And i m sure that in %windir% i have XPLODE.exe

I have try to rename XPlode in XPlode2 too, and call XPlode2 instead XPlode thinking that it couldn t be 2 instance of XPlode but it doesnt work more...

So anybody see a problem here...of course if i insert the execute display in the example.xml file, give with XPlode, all works except that...

So anybody can give me the code to launch XPlode from XPlode?

2)Second Question:

Anybody can give me the code to launch a ".bat" from xplode with cmdow, i try but it doesn t work more...

Thx a lot to all

Really fan of this forum

PS:Sorry for my English but i do my best to be readable

Hi

For the .bat file, i use programs="%systemdrive%\install\yourbat.cmd" without any problems (.bat or .cmd it 's the same)

Just use cmdow at beginning of .cmd.

I dont know if xplode can call himself . You can try to launch .cmd file with xplode.exe cmd line inside, maybe it will work

hi,

i think it could be problematic because you want to launch the same executable more than one time. create a second copy of xplode.exe somewhere else ans launch that one from the initially called XPlode.

to quote ur example:

Initially called XPlode1.exe executes:

-Install-1 ( XPlode2.exe calls xml1.xml which installs

-program1
-program2
-program3
)

-Install-2 ( XPlode2.exe calls xml2.xml which installs

-program1
-program2
-program3
)

-Install-3 ( XPlode2.exe calls xml3.xml which installs

-program1
-program2
-program3
)

this should work. i haven't tried it but it seems to be logical.

hope this helps a bit

cya
