You need the .net framework for this program to run.

Why this? What if i don't like it or don't have it?

I always code my programs that it could be used with plain windows (nearly all run under win9x and up).

What environment/language do you use? Mine is Delphi 6.0/Pascal or JBuilder 7/Java.

Im using Visual Basic.Net to code this program. Thats why you need the .net framework. Or at very least, the vb.net runtimes.

Maybe recode it in "normal" VB.

btw. i'm off now for a couple of hours

i think the "normal" vb you are referring to is vb6

Even with vb6 you need the VB6 runtimes.

And whats more important, ill be DAMNED if im going to reprogram this thing agian.

I just realized that i forgot to change the version number at the top of the program (still reads 1.0) lol. No biggie. You guys can deal with it :rolleyes:

Remember: If you find any bugs/typo's or have any suggestions, let me know.

Also, if you know of anymore windows variables other than the ones listed (im sure there are a bucketload more) can you post them please. Ill add them to the list.

Note: Still looking for a webpage'r :D

Enjoy! :)

I get this weird error when I start it up.. I dunno if you've addressed this error and I am just lazy or if it's a new error..

I come to the first information screen.. Click next and then I get this..

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
   <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

How come I get this and what can I do to get past it??

Other than this I find this software to be a pretty nifty program.:) Good work man..

Hey B0r3d I was just looking over you programm and i think I am not able to use it. At your section "Windows Variables" you use "C:\Documents and Settings" als %profiledir%. That's very nice of you, but in Germany it's "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen" and as was not planning to change the windows language again....

Talking of languages, what about a german.ini, english. ini, hebrew.ini, polish.ini and what else we can offer from users of this forum? Any plans regarding this?

Hope you didn't get me wrong, your program is great!!!!!

That option in there is so you can change the profiles directory to wherever you like.

The variable %profiledir% isnt one i made up. Its one incorperated within windows. C:\Documents and Settings is just the example default. If you have installed Windows XP under a different language, im sure that the variable will point to your languages equivilant.

If you dont trust me, just remove the setting from the preview of the winnt.sif file on the finish page :)

As for the <insert language here>.ini, could you please be more specific? I'm afraid i dont understand the question :rolleyes:

:) Yo, nice job on the new GUI. I wasn't expecting to implemented the tree list panel so soon. At least not from the email reply that I got. Hehehe :rolleyes: Yahoooo... It's awsome...

Here are some little advices to make the various listings much easier to read.

1. Checkbox listing.

Have the checkbox align to the left side and have the description follow after checkbox. The line warp is should after the checkbox. One example is in in Unattended section.

2. Align everything to left instead of centering.

3. Sort by Group and then sort by Alphebatical Order in Components Section.

Example: Games, Multimedia, Utils, Others.

That's all now. Thanks again for your awsome program.

Ahh... One more thing, make sure you install in a simple installation notes such the requirements for .NET Framework and where to download.

One more thing, you might be interested in copying some of the design from Windows Setup Managers. That way, it will make it easier for those who are familar using Windows Setup Managers.

This version seems pretty stable. I dont think ill update the GUI untill people start swaming me with bugs and problems that need to be fixed.
