egil Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hmmm. It seems someone's trying to do exactly what XPlode is doing.Spose it'll make me get off my arse and finish XPlode2 off Will/is XPlode able to make you choose from a list of programs (like the picture in the orginal post shows) what you want to install, and then press install. I would need this at the first boot stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzen Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 AutoIt GUI?Someone here made a limited GUI creation tool which follows the AutoIt v3 syntax and can send console commands to applications (@comspec setup.exe -s -f1\\blah\blah\setup.iss)...See below for a screen shot of the creation environment.With AutoBuilder (linked in my previous message) here is a GUI one can create in a few seconds.And here is what the syntax looks like:;Script generated by AutoBuilder 0.4Opt("GUICoordMode", 1)Opt("GUINotifyMode", 1)GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392,273,(@DesktopWidth-392)/2, (@DesktopHeight-273)/2 , 0x04CF0000)$checkbox_2 = GUISetControl("checkbox", "Nero 6", 10, 10, 100, 10)$checkbox_3 = GUISetControl("checkbox", "EZ CD Creator", 10, 30, 90, 10)$checkbox_4 = GUISetControl("checkbox", "Random Program", 10, 50, 80, 10)$button_1 = GUISetControl("button", "Select All", 110, 10, 160, 40)$button_2 = GUISetControl("button", "Start Installation", 110, 60, 150, 50)GuiShow()While 1 sleep(100) $msg = GuiMsg(0) Select Case $msg = -3 Exit Case $msg = 2 ;;; Case $msg = $checkbox_2 ;;; Case $msg = $checkbox_3 ;;; Case $msg = $checkbox_4 ;;; Case $msg = $button_1 ;;; Case $msg = $button_2 ;;; EndSelectWEndExitAll you would need to do is put your code where ";;;" currently exsists.

hoverhead Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Asta..LOL, no I'm not that fast.

Keep well and enjoy this new features. I will come knock at your door in 2 years time when you have almost forgotten how this thing work...We doing just fine here.

RayOK Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Here's an example of what I could create. The BG pic, smilies would be optional and changeable. Fixed size with an example of a tooltip. Hmm.. to create or not to create. That is my question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 In case people are wondering, the development version of XPlode looks like this at the moment:Things will change. But that's the gist of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a06lp Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Here's an example of what I could create. The BG pic, smilies would be optional and changeable. Fixed size with an example of a tooltip. Hmm.. to create or not to create. That is my question... Well, it appears as there are a couple of programs out there right now that are trying to do the same thing.I personally use WPI2.0b right now, but I'll tell ya what I don't like about it: - All commands are tricky because every apostraphe must be preceded by a \ - It's coded in Javascript/HTML, and I'm a little worried about stability. I don't know if that's a fact or myth in my head, but if yours would be more stable then cool. - Limit of 18 programs to install.Here's what I do like about it: - Great, Clean interface (colors, layout, tooltips look great and XPish) - Small checkboxes (not large buttons) - The concept of the tooltips - information on what the program does (could be in a side box that changes, I don't need the actual tooltip)I would advise you to take a look at WPI - even just the sample code, so you can get a feel for what I am saying.

a06lp Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well, I have created program like that some time ago.See if it fits your needs.Wow,I just downloaded this tool, and I am impressed.It seems fairly simple to configure, and very easy to use.Q1:- In the ini file, for example, you wrote:[Acrobat Reader 6]RunWait = \\10.0.1.1\public\install\Adobe\AcrobatReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""If my installer is located at: C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\adobereader6\reader6.exeHow would I modify the ini? Like this?[Acrobat Reader 6]RunWait = Install\Applications\adobereader6\reader6.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""I'm not sure how your files are set up, so I don't know how to configure them to my own.Q2: Also, is there any way you could add a "Default Options" button (set in the ini), and a "Select All", and "Deselect All" buttons?Q3:How would we call this? From winnt.sif under GuiRunOnce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenedy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 How would I modify the ini? Like this?Add[Config]Append = CDto .ini fileThen all paths will be relative to path from which program is run.(RunWait = Applications\adobereader6\reader6.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"" in your example, if you launch ktool from install folder)Also, is there any way you could add a "Default Options" button (set in the ini), and a "Select All", and "Deselect All" buttons?Currently no.BTW, it can run in silent mode. Just launch it with command like that:"ktool.exe filename.ini" or "ktool.exe filename.ini 2"(2 - reboot when done)How would we call this? From winnt.sif under GuiRunOnce?Anywhere you want. It runs even from DetachedProgram I use GuiRunOnce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
