Im very intersted in learning about this. But I need some good learning material to learn all about the program and how everything works? If there was a sticky that explained everything I would gladly read it, but can someone please direct me to an informatable thread? Thanks!

basically..

if u open something, u close it, so if u have

<item>

at the beginning, u would put </item> at the end thus closing it

Example:

<items>
  <item display='Installing Applications...'>
<execute display='Adaware 6' program='#SOURCEDRIVE#\Install\Apps\adaware6.exe' arguments='/SILENT'></execute>
<execute display='Spybot 1.3' program='#SOURCEDRIVE#\Install\Apps\spybotsd13.exe' arguments='/VERYSILENT'></execute>
<execute display='Spyware Blaster 3.2' program='#SOURCEDRIVE#\Install\Apps\spywareblaster32.exe' arguments='/VERYSILENT'></execute>
<execute display='Killing SB Process' program='#SOURCEDRIVE#\Install\Apps\pskill' arguments='spywareblaster' nowait='true' />
</item>
</items>

EDIT: to explain a bit whats going on here

execute is like "start /wait" in dos

display is like "ECHO"

program is telling it where 2 look for the program

nowait is telling it not 2 wait for the program 2 finish b4 continuing (thats an optional command)

if u need anymore help, search the forum threads for answers,

regards

hi,

i'm also here to help. Have you looked through the default XPlode.xml and the documentation?

here an example xml, which i call from svcpack.inf:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<XPlode>
	<config>
  <!-- if XPLODE finds a window with this name, it will hide it during execution -->
  <hidewindow>Windows Update</hidewindow>
  <hidewindow>CMD.EXe</hidewindow>
  
  <!-- this tells XPLODE how many items to show at one time (does not include current item description) -->
  <!-- and how many items to show that are coming after the current -->
  <show total='6' after='2'></show>
  
  <!-- these two control the font face and size of XPLODE -->
  <!-- antialias ==> true : false -->
  <font face='Tahoma' antialias='true'></font>
  <font small='8' large='12'></font>
  
  <!-- this controls the window width and position -->
  <!-- position is a grid as follows:
    +-+-+-+
    |0|1|2|
    +-+-+-+
    |3|4|5|
    +-+-+-+
    |6|7|8|
    +-+-+-+
  -->
  <!-- fixmain is to add height to the middle window if changing fonts - some may need modification. (extra pixel count) -->
  <window width='440' position='8' fixmain='0'></window>

  <windowmode>Standalone</windowmode>

  <!-- all colours are in the format #RRGGBBAA - where AA is transparency value. -->
  <!-- FF == fully opaque, 00 == fully invisible. If no AA, it defaults to FF -->
  <colours>
 	 <!-- the header footer, and progress colours -->
 	 <!-- image attributes are optional - if not specified, normal background -->
 	 <header back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFFAA' image='#SYSTEMDRIVE#\Install\Hotfixes\images\head.png'></header>

 	 <progress border='#FFFFFFAA' back='#00000000' fore='#FFFFFFAA'></progress>	
 	 
 	 <!-- colours used in main section -->
 	 <main back='#4A6FD6' fore='#FFFFFFAA' current='#FF8000' description='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\main.png' overlay='#FFFFFF22'/>
  </colours>
  
  <!-- string table -->
  <strings>
    <!-- the heading that gets shown in the dialog -->
    <title>Applying Hotfixes</title>

    <adduser>Adding user #1#</adduser>
