X-Savior Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi there,I am about to make my MCE 2005 Version 2 DVD. On my Version 1 I used Batch file method and it worked great. But, I like the flexibility and looks of the Run Once Method. But my problem is...I would like to create a Menu to select the Individual Software or have a couple of options (Basic, Lite, Full) Depending on what I desire on the machine.Anyone have any experience with this matter??Thank You!

X-Savior Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 XPlode??? What's that? Never heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PryGuy Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 You better use AutoIt V3. It will take you some time to start writing your own scripts, but it really worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimming_Bird Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 i like WPI a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekenaar Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 WAIT is also a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Savior Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Ok, I will look into them.I started playing around with XPlode and WOW!!! It is exactly what I wanted. A Full GUI Interface to select the programs to install AND several Pre-Set Selections. After a few hours of studying the XML's I started to get the Knack of it. It is actually VERY easy to use and can be easily adapted to an exisitng install. Are any of the other programs good with a full GUI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Savior Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Give this man a cookie and a pat on the back. Someone finally read the documentation which is actually a rare quality....Gratz!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yea, The documentation took a little getting used to. The format was a little confusing but after studying the XML It all started to make sense. I think it SHOULD include a Basic Noobie Tutorial to get people started.No Big Deal. I can't see what everyone is complaining about. If you can't figure it out, you shouldn't be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimming_Bird Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 use WPI for the exact same reason<{POST_SNAPBACK}>i just like the install interface of WPI better. and i dunno how to program my own for Xplode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekenaar Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I haven't worked with WPI yet, and I haven't used xplode in quite a while, but a BIG plus point for W.A.I.T is it's config-file-generator. A GUI program that generates the settings. No need for tutorials and no big learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Pretty much the same deal with WPI.. if you already know youre switches an install paths, all you need to do is fill in the blanks for each install. Pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
