Yes, but you also need to add the entry's for the secound window to the RunOnceEx2 REGISTRY KEY. If you use my Script Creator, set the RunOnceEx Window Number to 2 while exporting the secound script.

[Sull]

Sorry I am confused.

I will make an example of what I have, tell me what is wrong here

I just used your example and added the last entry, that is how mine looks. I did use your editor to change icons etc, I then wrote the rest of the reg entries to the RunOnceEX.cmd myself.

[RubySoftware]

This:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /V "Alternative RunOnceEx by Ruby Software" /D "Insert path to the installer here!!! /verysilent" /f

You should replace Insert path to the installer here!!! with the path to the installer (e.g. %systemdrive%\RunOnceEx.exe)

Awesome job....


Just curious... what did you write this app in?

[Sull]

I am not sure if this is an issue or not ?

My first RunOnceEX window loads fine, when my second window loads, windows loads as well, I thought both of my RunOnceEX windows should run before windows loads up ie task bar is showing

That can be seen as an issue, yes.

I am still having 2 of the same window pop up, first one pops up and then right after the driver packs finisher ends the second willstart. I have tried executing RunOnceEX.cmd from GuiRunonce so it would start after the finisher but I get the same isssue. What am I missing here ??

[RubySoftware]

You aren't doing anything wrong. Windows just starts after RunOnceEx.exe is finished, but that RunOnceEx calls itself again because another window must be loaded. Windows doesn't wait for that other instance of RunOnceEx.exe which is running. I'll try to fix this.

[Sull]

Have you had a chance to fix it ?

[RubySoftware]

Not yet.

Edit: Fixed. See first post.

I just tested the new version and I am still having a second window pop up, something deffinetly changed though, before it would get to about my 6th or 7th app and get stuck for a long time. I tested the regular RunOnceEX earlier and it worked fine, only one window poped up.

Thanks for your hard efforts

[RubySoftware]

That secound window should NOT install your applications again, it should only add this RunOnceEx to the RunOnce registry key. If that's all what happens, I can't fix it.

This post has been edited by RubySoftware: 24 January 2008 - 07:17 AM

[Sull]

No the second window is installing as well, reason I can tell, some of my silent installers try to uninstall or say already installed. I have been testing with the Windows original RunOnceEX and do not have a second Window or the same installers trying to install again.

Maybe lets wait and see if anyone else has issues like this.

[RubySoftware]

I've just uploaded a new version (1.6). Does this fix your problem?
If you're NOT using this for an unattended installation: Remove the registry value for Alternative RunOnceEx in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run first!

[Sull]

I will test it out.

Does this command work with your RunOnceEX = start /wait rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess

EXAMPLE: This is what I have working perfect for Windows original RunOnceEX

This I run from GuiRunonce and everything executes before logon, I found this way here on the forum.

This could solve my problem with your RunOnceEX ?

Yes my install is unattended

You forgot the quotes in REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "( TITLE HERE ) /f.

And this SHOULD work with mine too, if you do NOT use start /wait rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess, but run the Alternative RunOnceEx installer ONLY ONCE AT THE END. After inserting the first window entry's in the registry, you must set the %KEY% to (...)\Ruby Software\RunOnceEx2, to define the secound window. That should work.

RunOnceEx

great utility, I use it in my recent unattended DVD and work fine!

Now I'll try the RunOnceEx script creator and let see what happen...

Thanx!

[Sull]

RubySoftware,

I have not had a chance to try your alternative RunOnceEX again, I am very busy right now, maybe tonight I can run a VMWARE test.

I do have a question, at the end of your example in the previous post, you put RunOnceEX right at the end before EXIT, is this needed and why ?

Thanks again

Sull

Is it possible to do so that the icon corresponded for every application?
