tiwas Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hey all!First of all - great app, and very easy to use Now, I'm having two problems with WPI. Both are related.1. When installing apps through WPI I cannot kill screens with pskill like I used to. Specifically this relates to at least two programs which I had working fine with a batch script. I don't see any reason running both a cmd and WPI, so I'd rather move everything in here. The tasks I would like to kill are xpspro.exe/xpsmoker.exe (both start after installing the app), and a readme.txt opened in notepad. Killing both works fine after windows is installed, so there must be something during installation. I know for a fact that pskill works and is in the path.2. I would very much like to see a debug script that will let me see running processes and try different approaches *REAL TIME*. Reinstalling the whole VM just to tweak one installation sucks, and getting a prompt asking for a command line to execute would be soooooo much nicer.Any takes? Pri one is #1, #2 is merely a suggestion or a cry for help from someone who has made something like this already Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Easy to fix make a bat or cmd file and put the app and the bat in a sfx winrar archive. The archive needs to extract to your temp folder. call the archive and have the bat file ran after extraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiwas Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Will this open a command window (so I need to hide it with cdow or whatever it's called) or will WPI supress it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 depends on how you do it winrar can be programed to give multiple commands. what are you wanting done> Show me and I will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiwas Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Cheers!The main things I would like to do is:----------------start /wait %cdrom%\Install\XPsmoker\xpspro.exe /VERYSILENTstart /wait pskill xpsmoker.exe---------------and ----------------start /wait setup_scxpv2.2.61.Exe /Sstart /wait pskill notepad.exe---------------If you help me with these two, and I'd appreciate it if you had an example doing even more, I should be able to figure out the rest for myself.BTW: Do you know what the process name of the process showing txt files during install is ? It doesn't seem to be notepad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 ;The comment below contains SFX script commandsSetup=command.exeTempModeSilent=1Overwrite=1include cmdow in the winrar file with xpspro.exe and a cmd file with the following:@ECHO OFFREM Hide this command window.cmdow.exe @ /hidstart /wait xpspro.exe /VERYSILENTstart /wait pskill xpsmoker.exeexit:endThe window would only flash for a split sec and then dissapear.What text are you wanting to change? There are a lot of files that show text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiwas Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ok, thanks - that's similar to how I'm doing it at the moment I just don't copy too much off of the CD.I'm not really trying to show text. One of my installers pops up a readme-file and pskill'ing notepad.exe doesn't seem to work so I figured I could try to display which processes are running in order to find out what else to kill in order to get rid of the text-file.
