Hi Everyone!

I got Xplode to exec correctly during Ua Win Xp Setup but, I still have a small problem. When Xplode starts it tries to load a config automatically as normal. The thing is that nothing in this config is selected as a default and because of that, nothing is installed. My question is: What command do I use in my .xml file to make Xplode select a program as a standard in a config?

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing you are using the XPlodeSelectInstall.x4d plugin?
you should use the configs tag, for items to show up under a specific config.

enclosed example:

CODE

<execute display="Microsoft Office System 2003" desc="Installs Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Access, Powerpoint)"
configs="HAILSTORM,AFTERSHOCK,MYSTIQUE,FAILSAFE">
<program>#XPLODE#\Office2003\pro11.msi</program>
<arguments>TRANSFORMS=#XPLODE#\Office2003.MST /qb-</arguments>
</execute>

yeah, that's right forgot to mention that, I know that and I'm using it already but still if I choose a config and let the countdown reach zero, Xlode closes and doesn't install a thing.

can you post what's between your <display plugin='#XPLODE#\XPlodeSelectInstall.x4d'> and </display> tags
and one of your items?

And have a look in your log if there are any "out-of-the-ordinary" messages there.

when the selection display comes on screen are there any items selected?

CODE

<item display="Drivers" image="#XPLODE#\images\GeneralsZH.ico">

<execute display="ATI Graphic Driver" desc="Drivers for Radeon series cards" config="P430">
<program>#XPLODE#\Drivers\ATI.exe</program>
</execute>

<execute display="Audio Drivers" desc="Drivers for Sound Blaster Audigy" config="P430,RENEWED">
<program>#XPLODE#\Drivers\Sound Blaster Audigy.exe</program>
</execute>

<execute display="Mouse Driver" desc="Drivers for Razer Diamondback" config="P430">
<program>#XPLODE#\Drivers\Razer.exe</program>
</execute>

</item>

you have config="P430" but should be configs="P430"

oh, sorry I must have confused them. Here it is:

CODE

<display plugin="#XPLODE#\XplodeSelectInstall.x4d">
<window position="4" width="100%" height="100%" border="false" />
<html>#XPLODE#\selection\select-frameset.html</html>
<window width="800" height"600" titlebar="0"border="0" position="4" />
<html>#XPLODE#\selection\select-frameset.html</html>
<config>#COMPUTERNAME#</config>
<config>---</config>
<config>P430</config>
<config>RENEWED</config>
<delay>20</delay>
<autoclose>true</autoclose>
</display>

heh..... you're quicker than me...
I posted my reply.. and then edited to what it reads now..

I didn't need your display tags afterall

read the previous post for the solution.

Also you might want to remove the
<config>#COMPUTERNAME#</config>
<config>---</config>
lines... since you don't use these.
and #COMPUTERNAME# is now your default config.

but I don't really see the point. What difference will it make if i add that "s"?

its a parameter if it's not spelled correctly.. XPlode can't understand it..
just like any other program.

2nd reason why no items are installed:

#COMPUTERNAME# is your top config, so it's the default.
none of your items is linked to that config. so no item is installed

do as suggested in my previous reply (post #8) and remove the two unused config lines.
