Which Install method do you use?

[Alanoll]

I"m just curious to see how people use what. And since I haven't started many topics recently, why not this?

So in general, what method do you use? If you use RunOnceEX.cmd in CMDLINES.TXT that's still RunOnceEX.

I'm talking about in general, how do you install your applications.

XPlode for me.

Why?

Looks good (since I use it for XP), easy to set it up, merges into the setup screens, and does all I need. : Yay to wraith.

I also use WIHU when dealing with a win2k install. For the same reasons as above. Keep it up Benjamin.

It's been ages since I've used a plain .CMD install. I do use batch-files in conjunction with other tools, but not stand-alone (as mentioned in the official guide). Started out with .CMD, but moved on because there were too many negatives.

Oups, didn't saw Xplode...

I use XPlode launch from cmdlines.txt and from RunOnce

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

What if you're using more of them???

I'm using:

-RunOnceEx from cmlines.txt (apps)

-RunOnceEx from RunOnceEx (apps, continued)

-[DetachedPrograms] (extracting)

-svpack.inf (hotfixes, DX)

[benners]

Xplode from GUIRunOnce, you can't beat eye candy

[eagle00789]

I use XPlode launch from cmdlines.txt and from RunOnceEx, but still having problems with the running of xplode from cd when called from runonceex

[Wraith]

Wow, never realised so many people used it. There's FOUR of you!

Sorry, couldn't resist. I love making fun of myself.

BED TIME!!!!!!!

indeed.....

so I narrowed it down to "Installsing Applications" Not hotfixes, or extracting

I personally use a mixture of almost all of them.....(can't decide which I use more though)

I have to vote Xplode... no matter that i'm still writing my first .xml

[aknott]

I use Xplode from cmdline.txt and a second instance from runonceex for cuntuing installations

have to say i can't do anything without it now i know that wonderful tool

thx Wraith for this

[Denney]

I use SVCPACK for .NET Framework + hotfixes.

CMDLINES for user setup + regional settings + registry entries.

RunOnceEx for applications + cleanup + registry entries.

RunOnceEx on second boot for some annoying registry entries + final cleanup.

Hah!

That's nothing. Keep checking back here - by the end of a week, I'm sure you'd see that its going to be a landslide win for XPlode. Many hundreds (don't know about thousands ) use that buddy!

[BAM]

Ofcourse i'm going to help making Wraith really proud at XPlode!

Still using it at first logon and see the very cool/professional guitransparant installations going over my screen!

Only my regtweaks are set at T-12.
