XPlode v1.00 has been released!

IRC Server / channel: irc.liquified.net / #XPlode

I need some testers for XPlode.

Bugtracker: http://mantis.voidfx.com/

I want people to run it to see if they're getting runtime errors or anything.

XPinstall XML files should be okay, providing you change the root <XPinstall> to <XPlode>.

I've changed the syntax of running it - it by default loads XPlode.xml.
BUT it does not create a log by default.

Syntax: XPlode.exe /log:"C:\XPlode.log" /xml:"#XPLODE#\XPlode.xml"

Please post any problems or anything in this thread.

1.00rc5 update
All directory copying issues shoudl've been fixed. Registry can be written to and read from. Other misc fixes and additions. (Documentation comes next, eh? ugh. )

1.00rc4 update
Read my post. #91 it should be.

1.00rc3 update
Bugfixes and whatnot.

1.00rc2 update
Some random UI fixes and things. Don't really remember what

1.00rc1 update
All commands should be enabled. Test and report back!
There is NO documentation, so you'll have to decipher the sample XML for the time being.
Documentation is in the works, but people were itching to get their grubby little hands on it

0.9devtest update
Execute is now a valid command - can someone else test? (Works fine here)

In case you were wondering, the ONLY thing that should happen is a window should fade in and out in the bottom right hand corner.

Some people were getting runtime errors, and I'm trying to narrow down the cause.

[techtype]

Works fine!

[Wraith]

Good to hear

[buckeyeXP]

worked fine for me. i had a runtime problem before so it looks like ya licked it.

EDIT:: i just tried to run XPinstall 4.3 for a comparison and it gave me a runtime error and XPlode worked fine. Nice work..

When double on the exe clicking it worked. But the progress bar seems broken: jamed @ 0%... (see attachment #1)

When running with the /log option I get an error... (see attachment #2)
I used:
XPlode.exe /log "C:\XPlode.log" /xml:"#XPLODE#\XPlode.xml"
and
XPlode.exe /log "C:\XPlode.log"
Both crashed...

When the xml file is invalid, I get attachement #3 and an error in the log file.

When running
XPlode.exe /log "#XPLODE#\XPlode.log"
There isn't a file created. Ok XPlode is intended to run from cd i think, but maybe some people would still need this?

Thats all the test i can do for tonnight...

keep up the good work wraith!!!

Well, the problem would be there's a space after the /log, not a ':'...
I should probably check for that. (You found a bug by being stupid! Good work! )

i wouldn't neccesaryily call that bug, but just not reading the documentaiton
Stupid user errors.

Lets see how many i can cause.....


EDIT:: Why does this
[CODE} <execute display='Running QCHAIN...' program='#SYSTEMDRIVE#\PostInstall\QCHAIN.EXE' arguments='' /> [/CODE]

create a Invalid XML Syntax error in the log, instead of a File Not Found?

I also see the Progress bar frozen at 0%

EDIT:: Just because i wanted to do something stupid via commandline, if you add the /xml: to the execution without actually specifying anything, you just get a simple progress bar that opens then exits. Perhaps add a case where if that happens, it reverts back to the default .xml as it would be like not specifying one.

Because I'm currently checking against a blank string. I'll fix it up now.

Hasn't been implemented.

Hmmm. It SHOULD default back to it. *has a look*

Blah... I've been trying to debug my code for the last hour, trying to see why filecopy / filemove would hang for ~1-5 mins after copying a file. (was testing with DRIVER.CAB)

The moral of the story, don't run antivirus software. >_<
No hang if it's disabled. GRRRRRR.

[bombtrack]

so far it works well (besides the progress bar thing)

I said in the previous post that it hadn't been implemented yet.

Yeah, I haven't put up a version that supports commands other than execute.
If you look at the start of the log, it lists the commands loaded - you'll find this in yours:

 Registering commands {
    C:\XPlode-0.9devtest\XPlodeExecute.xplode {
      Command: execute
    }
    C:\XPlode-0.9devtest\XPlodePluginBase.xplode {
      Command: example
    }
  }

Whereas, in mine:

   e:\programming\XPlode\bin\XPlodeAdduser.xplode {
      Command: adduser
    }
    e:\programming\XPlode\bin\XPlodeDirOps.xplode {
      Command: dircopy
      Command: dirmove
      Command: dirdelete
    }
    e:\programming\XPlode\bin\XPlodeExecute.xplode {
      Command: execute
    }
    e:\programming\XPlode\bin\XPlodeFileOps.xplode {
      Command: filecopy
      Command: filemove
      Command: filedelete
    }
    e:\programming\XPlode\bin\XPlodePluginBase.xplode {
      Command: example
    }

So just keep your pants on, they'll be coming soon
