gramiche Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 You build your own customized windows xp CD and add a lot of usefull programs ?But all of theses program is not usefull on every computer you manage ?This tool is made for you !It display a popup during installation process (with timer) with the list of programs ready to install. You choose which program you want to install, and the launcher start each program one by one.You can choose which program is selected by default, and specify all switches needed to start install silently.Interested ?=>> Home page <<=A screenshot of the launcher : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gramiche Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Ok, i've found WPI. It's a great and huge program. Same objective as my launcher, it's true.I keep mine for my personal use because it is very ligther than WPI. I think my launcher is more simple to configure, but less powerfull.

Powerhouse Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 This seems to be an easy program, but doesn't have a lot of info associated with it. So here are my questions:1. When is this program run? During Runonceex.cmd, or cmdline.txt?2. Is each program given time to run before moving on to the next (so it has time to finish), or is the timer set for the whole list?

ZileXa Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Same thing also possible with (light) WIHU..(you can also create subselections etc.... things get autoselected if you select something depending on it etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramiche Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) 1. When is this program run? During Runonceex.cmd, or cmdline.txt?2. Is each program given time to run before moving on to the next (so it has time to finish), or is the timer set for the whole list?I run the program as an Hotfix (with nLite)The timer is here only to not stop windows installation. At the end of the timer, the installation process continue and install each selected program, one by one.If you click at least one time in the Launcher window, the timer is stoped.Launcher start the second installation program only when the first is finished (checked with the process name)Same thing also possible with (light) WIHU..(you can also create subselections etc.... things get autoselected if you select something depending on it etc..)YES, it is the same thing that :- WPI- WAIT- WIHUbut it seem to be a moskito comparing to steam machine (i haven't found WIHU light)Launcher can be used easily:-as a windows post installer-as an autorun for home made CD/DVD Edited February 11, 2006 by gramiche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my launcher is more simple to configure, but less powerfull.I love yours more than others because of its simplicity and light. Please continue updating this aswsome tool. B) I found the others a bit more bloat and difficult to configure. That's why I need use them.Kenneth Edited February 12, 2006 by kenneth11zz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muiz Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Why some programs have more then one " ; " ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhouse Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) Couple more questions for ya...1. Do all the Programes have to be in the same folder to install? It looks that way, so I guess my real question is there a way to have each piece of software install from a different folder.2. Are .msi files handled the same way as .exe files?3. What about Registry Key entries (especially when using Runonceex.cmd). For example this how I install iTunes using Runonceex.cmd...REG ADD %KEY%\093 /VE /D "iTunes v6.0.2.23" /fREG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg" /fNotice the last line adds some registry settings. Can you do the same with Launcher?So just to give yo some info, I intend to run this program from within Runonceex.cmd. That way I have a choice of what software I may want installed at that time.

For example this how I install iTunes using Runonceex.cmd...All the programs need to be in the same folder of launcher.exe.I think you can place program in a subfolder and specify the relative path.Example :Launcher.exe is in C:\Testdvd\LauncherAll install programs to start with launcher.exe need to be in c:\Testdvd\Launcher or subfolder.Gaim.exe is put in the c:\Testdvd\Launcher\Gaim folder.Then in the launcher.ini file :Gaim\Gaim.exe;/S;X;Gaim, my favorite multiprotocol IMI have not try .msithere are not supported because to start a msi, you launch a windows program with the msi in parametersBut you can create an itune.cmd with the command to start your .msi (and your registry entries)Launcher.ini file contain :itune.cmd;;X;Itune, my crap music manager B) runonceex.cmd will start Launcher, launcher will start the itune.cmd (if selected) and the itune.cmd start the msi and add reg entries:)I can try to support .msi but not registry entries because it will completly change the structure of the .ini and make it more complicated **Can be possible... i think launcher v2 will come soon**I have written a little FAQ==>> The new topic Edited February 14, 2006 by gramiche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
