I'm working on version 2.0 right now.

awesome job

this database could really become the "official" program switches database and if it could be regularly updated with everyone posting new apps switches im pretty sure this could help ALOT of people.

sticky ?

Well done! :

And... you're using an EXTREMELY FAST server!!!! 855 kilobyte/sec here!

P.S.: I'll add it to my translation of MSFN's tutorial too, if you don't mind!

Take care of this switch: /Reboot=Suppress. It's not correct if used with the slash.

@Bâshrat the Sneaky: I don't mind. go ahead. By the way, that server is from my internet service provider

@mazin: For wich program, or is it in the default switches part

really and truly, is any Windows Installer installs if you it showed more then once


As for teh "official" database, perhaps (I haven't opened the program yet) but not everyone uses RunOnceEX, though this will probally convert a good chunk of those batch peopel seeing as it could be easier.

Basically, the reboot is a Windows Installer property, not a switch. So, wherever you have an MSI setup, the correct way to reject a reboot is

REBOOT=Suppress

(note that there was no "/" preceding it).


Moreover, some installers want the property to be all capitals, which is why I have it that way above ("REBOOT" and not "Reboot"). Also, some I've seen some setups needing

REBOOT=ReallySuppress

(that switch to reject a reboot, instead of the one to simply "suppress" above)

[mazin]

Well, prathapml!

No problem giving a quick shot /off topic/. This is what I say:

Reboot is a property. (Nobody said it's a switch)
Either Suppress or ReallySuppress is a value.
Either Reboot=Suppress or Reboot=ReallySuppress is a switch, as I said above. Why? Because any command put on the command line for the purpose of changing the behaviour of installation MUST be called a switch.
Or I should say: What does a property do if put on the command line? Nothing, of course!

Moreover, those switches aren't picked arbitrarily. Each switch has its own purpose.
Plus, Reboot=S and Reboot=R are also correct! No slash in either case, as I said above.

ChEeRs!

@war59312: The autoupdate feature is on it's way in the next version. (Possibly 2.0) (done)
There will be a dropdown list, in wich you can type the name of the program. (done)
It will be sorted alfabeticly (done)
I Left the X out on purpose, so that you realy have to push the cancel button, because i know that many people like the X, but it's not a correct way of closing a program. (Will have a descent menu in the next version (done))

@Mazin: The user adding part will be incorporated in the next version. (done)

The new version with the above suggestions worked into it.
There is only 1 small thing. The Helpfile is NOT updated yes.
Also, the promised 250 programs that will be added to the database is not yet done. there is 1 program extra wich is not yet on the list. (Skype .95 beta is added)

If you want to add your own program to the Main database of the program, wich will be added in the updatefile, the submit your program to me thru a Private Message. Only submit the following:

Quote

ProgramName:
InstallerExecutable:
Parameters:
Extract:

The Extraction is only a yes or no. If extraction is needed in a special way, (like run the main installer and look in a special folder to find another file there) then include that in the pm.

eagle, firstly thank you for all hard work and speedy dev time.

Couple of problems with v2.0

first is an error when i attempt to access the database see image below. second is the about box information still says v1.32

Cheers,
Felix

That problem doesn't come from my program, but 1 (or more) of your installed programs my have replaced that dll with an older version. The 2nd problem will be solved tomorrow (it's 3:40 am here)

[eagle00789]

I've looked up the version of my msdart.dll file, and it's version 2.71.9042.0 If you post your version of that file (its in %systemroot%\system32), then we can compare what and where might be wrong

SmallUpdate of the program: Corrected VersionNumber in the aboutbox, showed a hand in the aboutbox on the pictures, so that you know that they are clickable

[eagle00789]

Update: The Helpfile now reflects the changes made in the program itself

[darthyoda6]

As long as you kepp the database in Access format it's easy enough to add in our own stuff.

Just out of curiosity, are you using VB or C++?

[eagle00789]

I used delphi 7 to create the program

[Pauly]

maybe you could add some predefined custom commands taht are not a program but would still be usefull to run in RunOnceEx

for example:
-applying registry tweaks from a file name RegTweaks.reg
-deleting Install folder
-deleting driver folder
- <put ideas here>

The version number must be the problem as now i have installed on another system and all is well

Thanks for your help mate!

[eagle00789]

No problem. i'm just glad that it is working for you now (though it is on another machine)

[mazin]

I've got no problems with your new release. It works well.

Thanks.
