Here it is, eventually: kTool1.1aY

This is a second modification of kTool with some improvements suggested lastly, and more:
- Get rid of the annoying quote problem. NO MORE QUOTE added by kTool.

-> Now, if you want quote, you'll have to BYO (bring your own).

- As suggested by cvd_army_com a few posts above, display a description of the Item in the GUI part of the prog.

@cvd_army_com: Good shot. Here are the adaptations I made to your code above:
- use of the 1st 'Description' directive in a section instead of a new 'AppDesc' directive.
- no use of the msgbox: I find more annoying to have to click ok (or press a key) to close it.
- repair the breaking for the last item.
- spread the multiline replacement to the Install part, where 'Description' directives are used in 1st place.

- Most important:
I've adapted the 'Replace' directive introduced in the last modified version (kTool1.1aX) to be much more flexible:

-> you can now use any variable name. Just provide the name together with the value, separated by a '-->':
e.g.

Replace = %PP%-->D:\install\

or

Replace = %myVar%-->CD

The only drawback of all these is that you'll have to adapt your .ini files to match the changes:
- adapt your 'Replace' directive
- and insert quotes where needed: arround paths or argument with spaces.

Good news, tho: I made those modifications because they were needed by another prog I've just finnished and that writes those .ini files for you! Well, it also writes RunOnceEx.cmd, config.js, install.ini & xplode.xml... There it is.

Hi, just found this and looks great for my needs!

I have a question, I want to add a line to install a driver (executable file) without switches (manually clicking through setup). The setup will want to reboot afterwards but I want ktool to continue after reboot.

Do I do this:
say "reboot later" to the setup question and then put the line

Reboot = 1

after the runwait command?

Yes.
Using a Reboot = 1 command will reboot right then (modulo a $RebootTimer period), after having scheduled itself to restart from where it stopped at next login (HKCU\...\RunOnce).

Here it is, yet another version of the forked version

Quote

CHANGELOG:
*kToolv1.1aY ---> 'Genuine forked' version

*kToolv1.1aY.1 ---> THIS version:
- Repaired the help message (spaces missing before splitting '_'s) in Func CommandLine
- FEATURE: All 'config' options defined in the \config\config.ini can now be rededined in the 'Config' section of you installation .ini file.
-> \config\config.ini is not needed anymore to customize kTool, except for translated strings, if really necessary.
- Corrected a small bug with the default title when none is provided.
- Removed the $Logging variable and options, as it was not used anymore (use $Log).

This new version is compatible with the previous one. It has just *more* possibilities...
Which will be used in the next version of the excel Progs Lists Manager. Stay tuned!

****, I feel like a complete newbie! Can't seem to get this thing working...

Now, on my CD I have a directory called install. This is how it looks:

(CD)
  --- $OEM$
  --- cmpnents
  --- DOCS
  --- DOTNETFX
  --- I386
  --- install
	  --- [cabed]  (which I later renamed to 'cabed' in case it didn't handle the brackets well)
	 --- [new]
	 --- Alcohol 120%
	 --- MessengerLive
	 --- RVM
  --- OEM

In the \install dir I have ktool.exe, win_xp.ini (didn't bother to rename it as I wanted to get it to work first) and config.ini. The ini files are appended to this post.

I've tried several ways of starting the app. The batch file I'm using is working fine - it starts ktool after detecting the CD-ROM, but starting it directly from GuiRunOnce doesn't work for some reason. The fix was to add it to another batch file which is working. I guess I'll have to figure this one out later unless someone's got any good ideas.

My problem now is that ktool starts up, but just runs through the menu doing absolutely nothing at all. And there is no logfile even though I've specified the logfile dir.

Could someone help me shed some light on this?

Cheers!

Ok, managed it - but it's not consistent with the help file. Time to update?

I added some Varables to make Setup full localizzable ...

[Config]
...
ListTitle =
RunningTitle =
GUITitle =
OverallProgress=
SoftwareInstallation =

& add a Progress Type "2" lite named
ProgressType = 3

to install INI Files or Drivers, use this script

install.cmd
------------
@echo off
FOR %%f IN (*.inf) DO rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %%f,DefaultInstall
------------


for silent install I use

ShelExec.exe /WAIT /ShowCmd:SW_HIDE install.cmd

& this config.ini script

....
[INIFiles]
Folder = .\INIFiles
FolderFiles = exe
FolderSwitch = ShelExec.exe /WAIT /ShowCmd:SW_HIDE install.cmd

1. Correct bug that make error in FileFolder if are more than 26 files

2. Add WindowMode to each section

3. Replace "regedit /s" with "regedit /s /i" that apply immediately the changes

4. Add a [PRE] type in FileFolder execution to execute personal program o switches before program

TO BE TESTES!!!!!

(ie. [preappend data] file.ext [parameters])


[PRE]
Folder = .\mypath
FolderFiles = msi
FolderSwitch= ALLUSERS=TRUE REBOOT=SUPRESS CHECK_WGA=0 LAUNCHPROGRAM=0 LAUNCHSCAN=0 /QB-
FolderCommand = PRE
FolderPreCommand = msiexec /i
WindowMode = Hide

This is same as MSI

[PRE]
Folder = .\mypath
FolderFiles = cmd
FolderCommand = PRE
FolderPreCommand = cmd.exe /c /K START /WAIT
WindowMode = Hide

[Acatincho]

how about support for windows 2003 server?

edit: ok i managed to create a new ini file wich seems to work correclty with windows 2003 since most of reg keys wich the original ktoll modify are the same at windows 2k,nt,2000 and 2003.

I have an additional question, how can i use the "append" setting at the ini to log-on to a remote server with diff credentials? Or if it is another work arround to reeplace this: DriveMapAdd("W:", "\\servername\c$", 0, "domain\user", "pass") to do it from the ini file

I have spent hours trying to use AutoIt and various .au3 scripts and have not been able to compile any of them without errors. I am using Scite Version 1.73 to compile and I always have errors. I have used Ktool for ages and would like to make a few changes to it (mostly sizing) if anyone has a working .au3 file which will work with the Scite complier. If you have such a script please post it.

Thanks,
Wiz

[rickytheanuj]

Can i use it in RunOnceEx.cmd ?
If yes then please describe how.



Actually i want to add silent installer created using AutoIT script to RunOnceEx.cmd. Is it possible.

I tried this with winamp but it didn't work.

[Mann]

Need help is it possible to install selected programs on profiles without the need to click on 'start installation' button
