Nobody nothing ???

I create my self a modified file : generate.js , configwizard.js and a wpi.au3 file, inspired to modification of Tony for ktool.

Everyone interesting ?

Put file for downloading ?

Any request here

Hey

sounds interesting. can you upload this?

[Dumpy Dooby]

Yeah, I think this would be really cool. Will you post what you have?

I've been toying with K-Tools, Simple AI, and XPlode with WPI. I'm trying to figure out which would be the best one for me. K-Tools will probably be my last choice. I like Simple AI and XPlode much more.

OK I upload the file in the next hour

[electros]

OK here is the file:

WPI to XPlode

Extract the file and run the WPI.exe, select all to install, and begin install and look what execute.

This is the sample of the file config.js, but you put anything program you want there. Atention do not put the switch for sillent execute (e.g. /s ) after the program path. Put this switch in the switch textbox.

Recommend to use Configurator.exe to create config.js script

Hi

good idea - but doesnt work yet. its some problem in writing the programs.xml file. some suggestions:

cleanup generate.js from ktool stuff - and what about integrate xplode into wpi installation-folders?

[electros]

What problems ?, what no works ?, and yes i will to clear generate.js but i miss out and i dont know everything about javascript and xml, if you know or anyone know please help me and improve this beta solution.

Some details about to run:

1 When start WPI.exe this exe run sfx archive XPlode.exe and extract the file in "c:\install\XPlode" folder,

2 Verify were is locate WPI folder,etc, and run WPI.hta,

3 After you select the programs what you want to install and clic to begin install buton the script generate.js is write file Programs.xml to XPlode folder,

4 The WPI.exe call Xplode and begin installation.

After read your reply wixfigura i test again and running.

Thanks for reply

electros,

Try changing line 35 in generate.js to look like this:

Programs_xml = WshEnv("SYSTEMDRIVE") + "\\install\\XPlode\\Programs.xml";

Notice the added "\\" before install. XPlode works on my system when I make this change.

Very nice GUI for the Progress Bars.

Hey -

try this one: WPI2XPlode.rar

Ive modified some things

- runs from WPI folder

- writes programs.xml file into system32 directory

- doesnt need to write XPlode on HDD

- an Autoit file now starts XPlode ( not the ugly cmd ) - its called neu.au3/exe ( I forgot to change the name!!!)

Ive NOT tested to run from CD/DVD yet. From HDD XPlode as WPI-frontend works fine.

Have fun

In my test works run without this change but anyway thanks for your test and suggestion.

I succesfully did a SimpleAI port. I can take a look at this one if it still needs some touching up. Has anyone tested it? Is it working?

[wixfigura]

Can you upload it with AI?
