Steam Trout Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Persoanlly I expect it to at least come up with default dialogue with some default programs for showcase reasons. Now just to "feel" the interface I need to read huge doc governing mainly XML commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is aimed at netadmins who, in theory, have the patience to research and discover the best possible option for what they need to do. The program itself is quite powerful - if you want to learn how to use it.Don't blame me, or the program, for your own impatience.@EveryonePlease keep the rest of this thread to constructive comments. Things like "Exactly, that program went straight to the recycle bin" doesn't help anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alperefe Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 @reyna12, @Steam Troutcmon guys! give it a chance. its cool! thats the first time ı ve seen a xml file but ı think ı began to understand. : forget the documentation for now and just analyze the sample xmls! ı know it would be great if there was a better explanation and tutorial! but u can handle it anyway! at last ı could get rid of that stupid guirunonce and command prompt!

jcrsantiago Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 i tried to run the app but nothing happens... "XPlode.exe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 @jcrsantiago - Read what Wraith said above and what he's written in the PDF files. The information on how to use XPlode is all there. You just have to take the time to learn it.@all newbies - The fact that the setup files are in XML format makes things a LOT easier to maintain. Download Notepad++ and open one of the XML files provided. Play around a bit with clicking around in N++ and you'll see what I mean. Not to mention that XPlode does a lot of the dirty work in XP setups for you.@Wraith - Any chance of the wiki being revived? I'll probably add to it now and then.

Wraith Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 @ZxianI'm in the process of doing XPlode5 - the documentation for each of the plugins are embedded within the plugins themselves, so I'll be regenerating documentation for them whenever anything gets changed.The rest of the documentation was going to be pulled directly from the PDF - if you have any changes or suggestions, email me and I'll see what I can do.@everyoneI had hoped for an XPlode5 release at the beginning of this week, but it got pushed back because of commitments. I had hoped to work on it this weekend, but the same thing has happened. I hope that it'll be ready within the next couple of weeks, but I'm not going to set a date in stone.Will keep everyone updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico.JohnnY Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 why not add some functions like WPI that when no XP CD found in CDROM,XPlode will install apps from local hard drive. The apps path can be a parent folder relative to XPlode by default. So users can use xplode install apps either in UA XP setup or in an installed Windows..

alperefe Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 ahhhgg! at last ı found the proper way for installation from cdrom; both xplode and my softwares!! ı think ı deserved a cup of coffee! but still needs small arrangments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico.JohnnY Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) Install from cdrom using Xplode is not that hard, here's my way:the tree of the XPCD is $OEM$ $1 $$ $Docs Cmdlines.txtI386XPlode XPlode.cmd Xplode.exe T12.xml RunOnceEx.xml XPlode-GFXinstall.xml ...SoftwareWIN51WIN51IPwin51ip.SP2.....In Cmdlines.txt,use a relative path to launch XPlode[COMMANDS]"..\XPlode\XPlode.cmd"XPlode.cmdcmdow @ /HID@ECHO offSet T12Inst=true::get current script directory and strip the trailing slash set zpath=%~dp0 set zpath=%zpath:~0,-2%start "" /wait "%zpath%\XPlode.exe" /xml:"#XPLODE#\XPlode-GFXinstall.xml" /log:"#SYSTEMDRIVE#\T12.log"The "T12Inst" environment variable is used by XPlode-GFXinstall.xml to determine which xml should be includedXPlode-GFXinstall.xml item include section<!-- include the items list --><include file="#XPLODE#\T12.xml" condition="'#T12Inst#' == 'true'"/><include file="#XPLODE#\RunOnceEx.xml" condition="'#T12Inst#' != 'true'"/>At the last of T12.xml,add<item display="Add Entries into RunOnceEx"> <execute display="Applying ..."> <program>reg</program> <arguments>add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx /v TITLE /d "Installing Applications" /f</arguments> <hide>true</hide> </execute> <execute display="Applying ..."> <program>reg</program> <arguments>add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001 /ve /d "Launching XPlode ..." /f</arguments> <hide>true</hide> </execute> <execute display="Applying ..."> <program>reg</program> <arguments>add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\001 /v 1 /d "#XPLODE#\XPlode.exe /xml:\"#XPLODE#\XPlode-GFXinstall.xml\" /log:\"#SYSTEMDRIVE#\RunOnceEx.log\"" /f</arguments> <hide>true</hide> </execute></item>Ok, the relative path in Xplode.cmd doesn't seem to work, post has been modified.

alperefe Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 if you use this line; "start /wait XPlode.exe /xml:"#XPLODE#\XPlode-GFXinstall.xml" /log:"#SYSTEMDRIVE#\T12.log" , how can u install from cd? coz as my knowledge "start /wait XPlode.exe" directly means "c:\install\explode.exe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
