Hi,


first of all I'd like to thank Wraith for such a versatile utility! But I seem to have some (beginner?) troubles with it.

I've configuredmy include-Items.xml (see the attachment), and my include-StdConfig.xml (also attached).

There are 2 main possibilities I think, that may be causing all this:
1) I've included variables, but also variables that use variables. I don't know if this is causing the problems.
2) I was trying to use an include-Items.xml (I know I can rename it...) WITH the 'configs' entry in the 'item' tag, while I was using GFXinstall. But when I retried with SelectInstall, it didn't work neither!

So here are my .xml files you need to find my problem. (no registration information is included)

Thanks in advance!
Nanaki
First, could you post a log-file, those things are _really_ handy. smile.gif

include_Items.xml:

</post-execute>
<items>
  <item display="Add user accounts" image="#XPLODE#\images\windbg.gif">


Add the "<items>" tag I inserted

QUOTE
  <item display="7-zip" image="#XPLODE#\images\7zip.gif">

    <program>#XPLODE#\tools\7zip_#V_7ZIP#.exe</progam>
    <arguments>/S</arguments>
  </execute>


please note the highlighted entry should be "program". This is in ALL your program tags, so you need to do a find-and-replace. smile.gif

QUOTE
  <fileio-copy display="Patch CloneCD" desc="Patching CloneCD" configs="BTS">

Highlighted entry should be "from".

Empty entry, remove it.

I can't correct more without a log-file. The other two files seem correct.

Open the XML file in IE. It should tell you about such XML based errors and just about where they are. (Unended quotes, nonclosed tags and such)

Thanks for that tip, Alanoll smile.gif

But everything is running flawless now smile.gif
