If your runonceex contain some loop, goto, if... it is not possible to add them into YAWI. You can only use program call (exe, bat, com, cmd, msi) and registry modification.

Whenever i doube-click the YAWI.exe nothing happens, No error just nothing happens

@ironside: Create yawi.ini file with correct path to at least one existing file. Incorrect lines are ignored, so if there is no fine path, yawi won't run.

i have standard calls only (maybe the cdrom letter check will not work in YAWI).

but seems useful to distribute application installer to my users with this tool so they can select whatever they want to be installed.

And thanks for your work on this neat little app, cheers

yawi accept only relative path, you dont need to use cdrom letter. Just put yawi on the media at the root directory (or at least a directory which contain all installation program to launch)

Thanks for your support

Kinda lost on the Registry adding part. How would I go from this...

REG ADD %KEY%\093 /VE /D "iTunes v6.0.2.23" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg" /f

To this...

iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe;;X;iTunes v6.0.2.23

???Not really sure about this Registry entry???

To this...

iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe;;X;iTunes v6.0.2.23

???Not really sure about this Registry entry???

to add this 3 registry entries when you install iTune, you write in the yawi.ini :

iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe;;X;iTunes v6.0.2.23
REG;ADD HKLM\093 /VE /D "iTunes v6.0.2.23" /f
REG;ADD HKLM\093 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe" /f
REG;ADD HKLM\093 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg" /f

In the yawi window, only 1 line will appear with "iTunes v6.0.2.23" selected.

you cannot use variable in yawi (like %KEY%) so you need to replace %KEY% with the complete value

Do you think this kind of .INI structure is more easy to fill that the actual ?

[Time]
Time=30

[app1]
Description=
File1=
Switch1=
File2=
Switch2=
(etc.)
Default=

[app2]
...

your program is EASY (follows the KISS principle - Keep It Simple, Stupid! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_Principle ), and your ini file is short but complete. IMHO, the last version in only bloated and redundant... and stay away from XML, please...

my 2cent...
