Xplode [Software Installation problems] Any Help?

[punkt33r]

I have some question for ya 

1. My XPlode installation (in the middle of the process) restarts my PC, thus terminating the whole install process of other software. I found ouf – it restarts here:

<item display='File and Folder Protector 2.3'>

<execute display='...installing...'>

<program>%systemdrive%\install\apps\FileFolderProtector23\FileFolderProtector23.exe</program>

<arguments>/VERYSILENT</arguments>

</execute>

</item>

What’s wrong in here?

2. How to make XPlode wait for prog install completion, and the install another. This code of mine doesn’t work:

<item display='Installing AutoIt...'>

<execute display='Installing Program...'>

<program>%systemdrive%\install\apps\setup.exe</program>

<arguments>/S</arguments>

<hide>true</hide>

<wait>true</wait>

</execute>

</item>

What are my mistakes, any ideas? Any example of working code?

3. And the last I have Office 2003 silent install self-extracting archive [Office2003.exe] It extracts files, then installs them, some dialogues are shown, but everything is automatic.

My code:

<item display='Office 2003 Professional'>

<execute display='...installing...'>

<program>%systemdrive%\install\apps\office2003.exe</program>

<arguments>/s</arguments>

</execute>

</item>

It doesn’t work. Xplode shows, that installation is in progress, then shows that is installed… Everything seems fine, but really it doesn’t install at all…. What problems I have here? What should the switch be?

1. Are those the correct arguments to stop it from restarting? Does the restart happen regardless of XPlode or not, with those arguments?

2. If the program you're launching spawns another process, but the parent exits, then XPlode will continue. This would be the only logical explanation for it happening.

3. What SFX? Does it normally wait under a plain install, rather than through XPlode? Are those the correct arguments?

Please can somebody attach working Xplode.xml files? It would be nice... I NEED some examples....

They are supplied with the XPlode installer, at least they used to, and I bet they still are. Reinstall XPlode.

Oh, and don't crosspost.
