Good news. Is it a matter of few days?

yes, it is. i'm having some small troubles with the recognition of a few special lines.

Also, i'm already planning a new version. The new version wil contain a database of known programs, and is self-extendable (you can add your own programs), it also is updateable via the net.

I pulled this from my script that makes my cd image. I didn't test it. It should be run on the same level as $OEM$. It will parse through $OEM$\$1\INSTALL, going 1 directory deep, looking for cmd.install.

A sample cmd.install in $OEM$\$1\INSTALL\winamp\cmd.install

Winamp 5.04
%INSTALLDIR%\Winamp\winamp504_full.exe /S /install=SFQR
TASKKILL /F /IM WINAMP.EXE
CMD.EXE /Q /C XCOPY %INSTALLDIR%\Winamp\Skins\*.* "%PROGRAMFILES%\winamp\skins"
;copy over config stuff
CMD.EXE /Q /C COPY %INSTALLDIR%\Winamp\winamp.ini "%PROGRAMFILES%\winamp"
CMD.EXE /Q /C COPY %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\Winamp\winamp2.ini %SYSTEMROOT%\winamp.ini

First line is title, a space represents an empty line, which won't show anything in the menu on runonceex, all following lines are commands, except those starting with ;

And before anyone asks why do I have a SET_INSTALL procedure in my runonceex.cmd; Its because thats how I originally had it, till I decided to parse the directories. If I had to rewrite this, I would probably integrate it all together.

::added ECHO OFF for people who can't get it to work properly

in about an hour, i'm going to unattend install my pc, then i have to reinstall my development-apps and then i can continue with the work i'm doing on Easy RunOnceEx.cmd v1.0b. In that hour, i'm also continuing that work.

[mazin]

Just two notes:

- the main window isn't resizable.

- "Add Command" dialog box doesn't have a "Cancel" button.

Nice utility.

[eagle00789]

Take your time.

[eagle00789]

i'm now in the process of reinstalling my development tools. (i haven't found any silent switches for it yet)

[mazin]

Oh! I forgot to say: the main window isn't centered on screen by default.

Thanks.

I just resumed the work on it, and am taking the following points:

Todo:

• the main window isn't resizable (done)
  
• "Add Command" dialog box doesn't have a "Cancel" button (done)
  
• the main window isn't centered on screen by default (done)
  
• Finish the saving (done)
  
• Add the ability to edit a command (done)
  
• Ask to overwrite an existing RunOnceEx.cmd file (done)
  
• Create an installer (done)
  

Thanks for some of those tips mazin

I will be editing this post to see the progress.
