Alanoll Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 @Bâshrat the Sneaky: I don't mind. go ahead. By the way, that server is from my internet service provider@mazin: For wich program, or is it in the default switches partreally and truly, is any Windows Installer installs if you it showed more then once As for teh "official" database, perhaps (I haven't opened the program yet) but not everyone uses RunOnceEX, though this will probally convert a good chunk of those batch peopel seeing as it could be easier.

prathapml Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 @mazin: For wich program, or is it in the default switches partBasically, the reboot is a Windows Installer property, not a switch. So, wherever you have an MSI setup, the correct way to reject a reboot is REBOOT=Suppress (note that there was no "/" preceding it).Moreover, some installers want the property to be all capitals, which is why I have it that way above ("REBOOT" and not "Reboot"). Also, some I've seen some setups needing REBOOT=ReallySuppress (that switch to reject a reboot, instead of the one to simply "suppress" above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Well, prathapml!No problem giving a quick shot /off topic/. This is what I say:Reboot is a property. (Nobody said it's a switch)Either Suppress or ReallySuppress is a value.Either Reboot=Suppress or Reboot=ReallySuppress is a switch, as I said above. Why? Because any command put on the command line for the purpose of changing the behaviour of installation MUST be called a switch.Or I should say: What does a property do if put on the command line? Nothing, of course!Moreover, those switches aren't picked arbitrarily. Each switch has its own purpose.Plus, Reboot=S and Reboot=R are also correct! No slash in either case, as I said above.ChEeRs!

eagle00789 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 @war59312: The autoupdate feature is on it's way in the next version. (Possibly 2.0) (done)There will be a dropdown list, in wich you can type the name of the program. (done)It will be sorted alfabeticly (done)I Left the X out on purpose, so that you realy have to push the cancel button, because i know that many people like the X, but it's not a correct way of closing a program. (Will have a descent menu in the next version (done))@Mazin: The user adding part will be incorporated in the next version. (done)The new version with the above suggestions worked into it.There is only 1 small thing. The Helpfile is NOT updated yes.Also, the promised 250 programs that will be added to the database is not yet done. there is 1 program extra wich is not yet on the list. (Skype .95 beta is added)If you want to add your own program to the Main database of the program, wich will be added in the updatefile, the submit your program to me thru a Private Message. Only submit the following:ProgramName:InstallerExecutable:Parameters:Extract:The Extraction is only a yes or no. If extraction is needed in a special way, (like run the main installer and look in a special folder to find another file there) then include that in the pm.

eagle00789 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 That problem doesn't come from my program, but 1 (or more) of your installed programs my have replaced that dll with an older version. The 2nd problem will be solved tomorrow (it's 3:40 am here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle00789 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 I've looked up the version of my msdart.dll file, and it's version 2.71.9042.0 If you post your version of that file (its in %systemroot%\system32), then we can compare what and where might be wrongSmallUpdate of the program: Corrected VersionNumber in the aboutbox, showed a hand in the aboutbox on the pictures, so that you know that they are clickable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthyoda6 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 As long as you kepp the database in Access format it's easy enough to add in our own stuff.Just out of curiosity, are you using VB or C++? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 maybe you could add some predefined custom commands taht are not a program but would still be usefull to run in RunOnceExfor example:-applying registry tweaks from a file name RegTweaks.reg-deleting Install folder-deleting driver folder- <put ideas here> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
