XPlode Processor usage.

[chezy666]

I use xplode for my unattended CD now and for some reason it's very slow compared to xpinstall, has someone else got this problem ?

I need xplode cause i use the nowait switch to install vbs apps, if anyone knows how to install apps using vbs through xpinstall it would be of great help, I do the complete install from the CD.

Or i was thinking of calling xplode through xpinstall to do the install of apps that use vbs.

ive not noticed any slowness, make sure u have your .xml file perfect?

meaning no extra lines or anything that may cause it 2 hang?

i spose u could call xplode, as its just an exe

You maybe right, i have a lot of empty places and empty lines to make the code clear, i'll remove those and see how it goes, aas for running xplode through xpinstall, i launce a vbs through xpinstall which pskills xpinstall and starts xplode.

Great suggestion MCT, I removed all the spaces and the comments and reduced my code to as small as possible (79Kb). Now the processor usage has dropped from 90 to 10.

Yet to test the time to install, but i think now that xplode uses less, other processes will become fast.

That indicates a bug of some sort. Whitespace is meant to be ignored by XML parsers, and comments aren't meant to be slowing things down, unless the program is using them (which it shouldn't)
