Programs not "waiting" despite <wait>true</wait>

[draxx]

Hi Wraith,

Good to see you've picked up development again, although by the time I noticed, a moron ruined it for everyone. Lucky I didn't see what his comments were, cause I would have flamed the s*** out of him LOL

Anyway, I have a small problem with the current version on your site (XPlode4.00.5.130.exe). It does not wait between applications, despite using the <wait>true</wait> tags.

I'm including my xml file, in case I've overlooked something. I'd appreciate your help greatly.

Great work!!!!

I don't use the WAIT tags, maybe try without them?

[draxx]

yeah, I tried that also, all the installers kick off at the same time pretty much

thanks tho

[minos197]

Draxx try this.Try to remove the <hide> parameters completely or make them true.I have similar problems because I want to hide the installers and cannot.I noticed that the arguments ,hide and wait are behaving excactly the same(a bug???)If I use false for hide the program does not wait.In my case I skiped the wait completely

This is what I use,..

<execute display='Installing Nero Ultra Edition'>

<program>#Sourcedrive#\CUSTM\Nero\nero6606.exe</program>

<arguments>/silent /noreboot</arguments>

<hide>true</hide>

</execute>

</item>

[Wraith]

Very weird.

I'll go over the execute plugin again tonight.

[Nanaki]

Some wait, most don't. Downgrading to alpha for now.

edit: Alpha works, so it's a problem with Xplode.exe itself I think.

[Wraith]

Puzzling.

Because neither XPlode.exe nor XPlodeExecutePlugin.x4e have changed since the last few alphas that got released.

[draxx]

oops, I forgot all about this thread. Thanks for your ideas guys

BTW: it worked like a charm also Looking forward to next version....
