HFSLIP - Test releases

[EmRoD]

It's possible the extra update for WMP11 is responsible for this. It may be incompatible with XP Home. I don't have a copy of Home Edition at hand so I can't test this myself. Please remove WMP11 and KB898543, and try again.

Thanks for the advice

This solves the reseal issue !

No. As I said in my previous post, HFSPLUG2.CMD is called when the new source is ready. So HFSLIP.CMD already has the word "EXIT" at the end. If you add anything below "EXIT", it will be ignored when it's run (at T-13).

Thanks for the kind answer, and excuse if I not have understood endured what you had written in previous post, but the translation problems exist.

Now the solution is much clear…

Bye!

Glad you understand. If you use HFSPLUG2.CMD, you don't have to modify the main HFSLIP script at all!

Re: 61227a and autoit support:

If I am reading this correctly, the setup .exe files (which should be in the same folder as the .au3 scripts - I think that is the usual convention) do not get copied to I386:

:HFEAU
FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR/B HFEXPERT\AUTOIT\AU*.EXE') DO SET AUTOEXE=%%I
IF NOT DEFINED AUTOEXE GOTO EOF
COPY HFEXPERT\AUTOIT\%AUTOEXE% SOURCESS\I386
FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR/B HFEXPERT\AUTOIT\*.AU*') DO (
	COPY HFEXPERT\AUTOIT\%%I SOURCESS\I386
	ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK\HFSLIP.CMD %%HFSLIP%%\%AUTOEXE% %%HFSLIP%%\%%I
)
GOTO EOF

COPY HFEXPERT\AUTOIT\%AUTOEXE% SOURCESS\I386

copies the executable into I386. Are you saying now that there's more executables?

Don't know if it's of any use, but I was also thinking of expanding the feature a little by allowing more than one subfolder starting with "AUTOIT" (eg, AUTOIT2, AUTOIT3, AUTOIT4, etc) in case people need to use scripts that haven't been updated yet. This is trivial but I need to know if it can be considered useful or not.

In addition to the autoit3.exe, there would be an executable of each setup that is automated by each .au3 script

Autoit3 is pretty dominant, I think. The program became a lot more user-friendly with version 3, I think, and I haven't seen an Autoit2 script on these unattended boards

[Camarade_Tux]

What about AutoHotKey scripts ?

(and AHK handles AutoItv2 scripts )

[Tomcat76]

I can't add support for any installer type out there. Is it used a lot?

[Camarade_Tux]

I don't know which one is more popular. But don't bother with this : I find it a pity fast noone knows about AHK on this board (and only on this board).

Yes, I was going to make that point.. AHK, while a great program, is dead to all the MSFN boards. Furthermore, almost every posted script and every utility I've seen posted for simplifying the creation of unattended scripts, that I've seen at least, is geared toward almost nothing but AutoIt3, not Autohotkey or AutoIt2.

I install both AutoHotkey and AutoIt3 on my system. I use AutoHotkey mainly for scripts that do not exit, like autocorrect, "FavoriteFolders", and making Alt-F4 work in cmd windows. I considered using it for unattended installation scripts, but it appeared I would be the first one doing so, so I quickly added AutoIt3 to my toolbox.

OK, Kiki Camarade_Tux, I searched and did find a few. I may have exaggerated slightly.

hi daddydave! perhaps you meant Camarade_Tux?

Maybe we could have a slight update to this section?
