Astalavista Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hasi I hv a questionI hv wpi and my software folder on a cd, with a autorun.infI hv my prepare.exe and cleanup.exe set as forced.My problem is if i put the cdrom in the drive and they just want to take a look anddecide not to install anything. When they click X or exitprepare and cleanup will still automatically install.What should i do?Before they start to install any software it is a MUST prepare.exe be launchsince it activates registry tweaks And of course cleanup when everything is done.But I want it, if - they dont install anything they can exit without hving anythinginstalling.

Pezzie Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Cant you set it up so that if anything is checked then prepare and cleanup will automaticly be checked ? I know that any users could uncheck them.And perhaps Hasi could add a 3 option to the forced category - forced if anything is checked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 isn't that the whole different between Force and ReallyForce?whether or not it's installed when unchecked?or am i wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasi001 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 you're right. this 'force' and 'really force' are really hard to understand and could mess up things. in one of the nextversions, i'll be doing the following:* add a property 'force on install anything' to force a program's installation, if any other program is installed* try to make 'forced' programs un-uncheckable* get rid of that 'ReallyForce' option - does anyone need that ? Shouldn't "Exit" really just exit and install nothing ?a further step would be to check the relationship between 'force', 'force on install anything', exclusions and dependencies - but that's a complicated thing to do.

a06lp Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 i actually was opposed to the whole "reallyforce" idea when it came up way back when. I also agree "exit" should mean just that - EXIT - NOT install.'force on install anything' = 'force installation if anything is checked'? just to clarify.future ideas you have sound good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
