t-o-m-m-y Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 i have another questionif i have a string hidden.0=1 would it be possible that this is also hidden at the installation log (Installation Protokoll)thxt-o-m-m-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2001 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 @Benjamin- move thread "Changelog" to Important Topcisif it's possible?Yes i think this is very important (...) I'll care about this. i have another questionif i have a string hidden.0=1 would it be possible that this is also hidden at the installation log (Installation Protokoll)thxt-o-m-m-yHhm, I don't know if this is a good idea. In a log file there should be as much as possible and necessary because it is created to troubleshoot problems and bugs. And usually the log file isn't viewed by "normal users" repectively deleted after successful operation. Moreover if someone want's to see what is really done by WIHU he just has to look into the INI files. So I plead for showing everything in the log file and not hide anything!

visaversa Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I want an option to skip user creation and go right to software install .thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I don't exactly remember if it was related to the user-creation page, but there was a switch or a setting in the INI, which did it.EDIT: Ran a "/?" on the exe, and saw the "/UseCurrent" switch. I suppose that is the one to directly go to software installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 /UseCurrent skips user creation, but don't skip settings. You should use this switch.Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visaversa Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 thx prathapml and Benjamin , i guess you mean these settings to use:[settings]Usecurrent=1 or 0but this would not help me...I want it on runtime as an option on the userscreen before i have to click next.today i f***t up a server install cause wihu changed the computername i did not noticed/forgat to look at :-( while i clicked next it was to late, it changed my domain controllers name and i hade set wihu to start install and reboot automatic. I canceled but the server started to reboot.I got i strait later, but i lost some valuable time.Oh wel we learn from our mistakes....there is one other request, maybe an option to copy files from cd to ....I know, i still do it with xplode but then again why not...greetsvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 See this Screenshot. It's possible.But note, this wont create a primary user, BUT it will create each user which is specified in [users] section (if any).Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visaversa Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Thanks for the reply, i was aware of that funtion and i used it but...the tree fields where not blanc, the recieved there info from the ini, and gave it to the os.Question, what would have happend if i blanked these tree fields? Would it left alone these computer settings?VV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 (edited) Sorry, I'm so stupid ... I forget to implement reading it from ini file.I fixed this.Btw. to cancel a shutdown in progress just start "cmd.exe /c @shutdown -a" to cancel this.Benjamin Edited August 27, 2004 by BenjaminKalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
