XPlode "configs". Whats the difference between each one?

**gugutz** · January 21, 2007

I am making a xml to be used with XPlode 4

I noticed that in each <execute> tag, XPlode offers diferent configs for it.

like in:

<execute display="7-zip 4.44 Alpha 2" desc="Instala a última versão do 7zip" configs="HAILSTORM,AFTERSHOCK,MYSTIQUE,FAILSAFE">

What is the difference between each one? Anyone know? For now i´m using all 4 in each <execute> line.

**gugutz** · January 22, 2007

ppl who use xplode?

anybody?

I'm not sure - but I've been using xplode 4.x with the following config file with no problems:

<XPlode4>

These were just configs Wraith made up or uses himself and they are there as examples of the Selected Install plugin. You could add the name of your computer or your own configs like Testing or minimal so that when the XPlode dialog appears you can select a certain configuration.

For example you have X number of computers called ComputerX, by default when XPlode loads if

<config>#COMPUTERNAME#</config>

was specified first in the configs list it would run the programs associated with the corresponding tags

configs='ComputerX'>

which would be the current computer.

You could also have a config called "Testing", this may be a default setup with no applications or tweaks installed so that you can test installations or scripts to see if they work before trying them in the real world. When XPlode runs you could select "Testing" from the drop down list and load the associated tweaks, programs or settings to install (if any) that are for that particular install.

Hope this helps.
