lilweirddude Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 it's all really a matter of personal preference and what you are looking for in an installer
erik_demon Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I myself use WPI.It looks really professional, and it works great .With the newest release, it is also very easy to use. You now don't have to learn te language in order to use it (there is a config part inside")Ofcourse taste is very personal.On the screenshot below you can see my WPI
xrated Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 in what install state this window will appear?i dont want to really sit 20mins in front of the box to see that screen
Cartoonite Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 i dont want to really sit 20mins in front of the box to see that screenTo the best of my knowledge there is no installer available that will let you select something such as what additional software to be installed any earlier than on the first boot up after Windows is installed (GuiRunOnce stage).
jaxflmax Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I use kTool because it's soooo easy and doesn't require lots of coding
-I- Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 you could also, Use unatend.txt (witch i prefer over guirunonce), and just make it prepare a batchfile to do the actual installs at a later state.. example... Unattend.txt cmd1=Start /wait config.exe and make this config tool write (add) its functions to. %systemdrive%\oemtmp\installer.bat "why not just wait for runonce... Well thats easy, what if you wanted to add regtweaks to the system.... at unattend.txt you'd sti be able to include more hardcore tweaks to system default... in runonce you already have passed that state, and nead to aply those teaks to evry user you have specified.... and all future added users... But if you want to use this stategy you still nead to find an ap that can write lines to a txt (*.bat) file... and utils like WPI will not work at that state yet.. Any vb app probebly neither...

Swimming_Bird Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 WPI can be run however you want. Most people however do it via runonceex.cmdI havnt tried out xplode yet but it seems to be more powerful then WPI (i havnt done much research on xplode yet) but harder to config and design your own look.i'll prolly try out xplode next time i completely remake my UA cd
bryanh Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I am bias, but you might want to check out WAIT.W.A.I.T (windows application installation tool)
