I run Xplode from cmdlines.txtThis is what it lookes like:[COMMANDS]".\XPLode.exe /xml:#Systemdrive#\Install\Xplode\Xplode.xml"And it calls Xplode.xml wich lookes like this:<XPlode><config><hidewindow>Windows Update</hidewindow><hidewindow>CMD.EXe</hidewindow><show total='6' after='2' subcount='true' /><!-- turn antialiasing OFF if you're running GUIinstall mode --><font face='Tahoma' antialias='false' small='8' large='12' /><!-- note the position attribute - it is listed in 'x,y' positions. --><!-- 0..8 still may be used. --><window width='1024' position='0' fixmain='191' /><windowmode mode='guitransparent' /><!-- can be standalone, guitransparent, or guiredraw --><!-- for the latter two, you don't need to specify background colours, or images. --><colours><header back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\head.png' /><footer back='#003399' fore='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\images\foot.png' /><progress border='#FFFFFF' back='#00000000' fore='#FFFFFFAA' fore2='#00000033' /> <main back='#FF00FF' fore='#FFFFFF' current='#FFFF00' description='#FFFFFF' image='%XPLODE%\main2.png' overlay='#FFFFFF22'/></colours><strings><!-- main XPlode string --><title>Post-Install Configuration</title><complete>complete</complete><!-- adduser plugin strings --><adduser>Adding user #1#</adduser><addusertogroup>Adding user #1# to group #2#</addusertogroup><addgroup>Adding group #1#</addgroup> <!-- file/dir ops plugin strings --><copy>Copying #1# (#2#/#3# - #4#)</copy><move>Moving #1# (#2#/#3# - #4#)</move><delete>Deleting #1# (#3#)</delete><!-- shortcut plugin --><shortcut>Adding shortcut: #1#</shortcut> </strings></config><items> <item display='.NET Framework v1.1'> <execute display='Installing .NET Framework v1.1...'program='%systemdrive%\install\NetFramework\netfx.msi' arguments='/QN'</item> <item display='Irfanview 3.92'> <execute display='Installing Irfanview 3.92...'program='%systemdrive%\install\applications\IrfanView392\IView392.exe' arguments='/silent /desktop=0 /group=1 /allusers=1 /assoc=1'</item> <item display='Irfanview 3.92 Plugins'> <execute display='Installing Irfanview 3.92 Plugins...'program='%systemdrive%\install\applications\IrfanView391\all_plugins.exe' arguments='/silent'</item> <item display='WinRAR 3.30'> <execute display='Installing WinRAR 3.30...'program='%systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar330.exe' arguments='/s'</item> <item display='Daemon Tools 3.46'> <execute display='Installing Daemon Tools 3.46...'program='%systemdrive%\install\Applications\DaemonTools\daemon.msi' arguments='/qn /norestart'</item> <item display='McAfee 8.0i Enterprise'> <execute display='Installing McAfee 8.0i Enterprise...'program='%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\VSC\vse800.msi' arguments='/QN'</item> <item display='MSN Messenger 6.2.0137 Final'> <execute display='Installing MSN Messenger 6.2.0137 Final...'program='%systemdrive%\install\MSN\MsnMsgs.msi' arguments='/QB' /> </item><item display='Nero Burning ROM v6.3.1.20'> <execute display='Nero Burning ROM v6.3.1.20...'program='%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Nero\nero63120.exe' arguments='/SN=****-****-****-****-****-**** /WRITE_SN /SILENT /NOREBOOT' </item><item display='Registry Tweaks'><execute display='Applying Registry Tweaks...'program='regedit'arguments='/s %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks.reg' /></items></XPlode>The individual software can be install with these parameters I did that with a cmd file. But now I'm trying it through Xplode and it doesn't work.... I see something starting very quick at T12 in the setup proces, but it disappears instantly and nothing happens. Can someone please look at my files and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've looked at the forum posts here but didn't find the solutions yet.

I have the plugins in the same directory as the Xplode.xml file. Maybe they must be in the same dir as Xplode.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 Ok it is working, I put the plugins where Xplode.exe is.But know I like to know how can I get it like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_gie Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I posted my xml file on this threadSince it is for XPlode v1.0, I'm pretty sure some feature will not work the same.At least you can see what you should do or adapt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 Big_Gie, it sure works with the new Xplode! Thanks I used you're settings.I still have one question at the end I would like to run a .cmd file. How can I run a .cmd silent from xml?Is it something like hide="true'And I install Nero with the /silent parameter (see my xplode.xml) but I still see the setup window. The same thing happens when I install MSN Messenger 6.2Is there a way to hide these windows as well?And I don't see the progress bars for each individual application, only the one at the bottom. Where can I set this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hi Skywalker,When you want to hide those windows, then look below at the changes i made for you in the arguments. Also when you want that progressbar you asked for then look at how i grouped them together under: 'Applications setup'This way you see the progressbar going for the 3 apps i put there for you!(2 changed + WinRAR added allready)You can revise your XML and group them as much as you like instead of start a complete new item everytime!Just sort them out under different item displays.. and gruop them under it.<item display='Applications setup'><execute display='Installing MSN Messenger6.2.0137...' program='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\MSN\MsnMsgs.msi' arguments='/QN' /><execute display='Installing Nero Burning ROM 6.3.1.20...' program='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\Nero\nero63120.exe' arguments='/SN=****-****-****-****-****-**** /WRITE_SN /SILENT /NO_UI /NOCANCEL /NOREBOOT' /><execute display='Installing WinRAR 3.30...' program='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar330.exe' arguments='/s' /></item>Later on i will post my complete file here for others to use it as they like, or bark at it..if they don't like it and i promised big_gie to do so, because he had usefull stuff for me.. )Let us know how it turned out!massel.

Skywalker Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 Great help! It worked for me by making the SFX archive silent. Now I face another challenge. I try to install Office 2000 incl. SP1 and in this setup also a box is visible. is there a way to hide this?The string I use is this:<execute display='Office 2003 Pro incl. SP1 ...' program='%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe' arguments='TRANSFORMS=%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\Unattended.MST /qb-'/>The setup works, but I don't want to see it.
