Nice little VisualStudio project! I can't really see where the 'script' format conversion takes place in the GUI. Thx. for sharing your work though. You'll find a humble, friendly, and savy group of folks here at boot-land. With a little reading you should be into the swing of things in no time. Welcome.

now H7PluginBuilder able to generate .script files
I tried the program and on start it gave me the error that the application could not have been initialized.
I think there are missin .net version files
You should make a deploy packege.
so any one can tell me what dose this error message mean "List index out of bounds (4)"
It usually happens with syntax errors in your script.
Then maybe an argument is missing and WB brings that erroe when starting to read.
Unfortunatelly currently there is no way to find the line.

That was fast in starting helping in implementing BartPE, or XPE plugins to Winbuilder Scripts format.

For creating shortcuts the recommended way is using build model by Peter, it consists on a way to use regional folder names and avoid fixed paths, so here is an example on how to create a shortcut from an application on the "Programs" folder:
[Process]Echo,"Creating shortcuts.."
IniRead,"%ProjectInfo%","TargetStrings","sProgram_Files",%WorkDir%
Run,%BuildModelScript%,Add-Shortcut,"DE","#$pSystemDrive#$p\%workDir%\dixml\dixml.exe","DriveImage XML"
Run,%BuildModelScript%,Add-Shortcut,"SM","#$pSystemDrive#$p\%workDir%\dixml\dixml.exe","DriveImage XML"
First you read the value from %projectInfo% wich is an ini file wich is generated while the project is running and will hold the valid work paths - and we will read the value of sProgram_Files to the variable %workdir%
Next we run the buildModel function that will create our shortcuts, note that DE will place it on the desktop and SM will add on the start Menu - this is very well documented inside the buildmodel script by Peter (psc)
As a side note, a few characters need to be coded otherwise they might be confused with language specific instrutions.
For example, the comma is used to split a command like this:
Echo,"Hello World!!"
Where Echo is the command and Hello World!! the text string to be displayed. To display commas instead of spliting lines you use the coded version #$c wich will be outputed as a comma, like this:
Echo,"Hello#$c World!!"
And this way you'll output an Hello, World!! instead of just Hello if you used a simple comma.
There are also a few other characters like this one, this is detailed on the wiki as well. So I think your error could also be due to something like this.
#$c = ,
#$p = %
#$q = "

Add [scriptfile].link
you can run files from autorun.cmd
create shortcuts on desktop and startmenu
i'm thinking in create shortcut's via autorun.cmd using FileCreateShortcut function in autoit what do you think ?
is it a good idea ?
do you have more idea's for the pluginbuilder ?
should i include some interface for winbuilder editor in the generated script ?

I think we agreed upon, doing as little at boot-time as possible and moving as much as possible to build-time.i'm thinking in create shortcut's via autorun.cmd using FileCreateShortcut function in autoit what do you think ?
is it a good idea ?
Shortcuts were one of those things, though only you know if that is possible, with the converted plugins.

Tested the new app, it looks better - but the UI is still too crowded with buttons and options on my opinion, most of these features should be as simple as possible and I know that this is really hard to do, especially when a tool is meant to be used by so many different people..
Keep it up!

I would recommend to wait for the next release of wb - the archive folder was completely removed and all scripts are placed inside the projects folder - this should take just a few more days to be released..
Wich program do you use for creating these presentations?

The link format is not being used in the newer builds of Winbuider 53. The .Script is being used only.
I tried to download and run the program, but I get an error message when trying to run it. Here is the error.

now can made shortcut to quicklaunch
add menu item to set sub item's CopyLocal Prperty to false this mean's than item's will be expanded from source cd if exist's
now you can use GenerateRamCmd, this will make a batch file which will copy the file to ram drive and run it from there %ramdrv% is used..
add some interface for test
this the prove

This is going to be a very usefull tool.

Is there going to be an update to creating just the Script. It complains that I dont have the right folder. I think it expect the Archive folder layout.
Also notice that you select the "Set Copy local to false". What is it for. I dont get a good grasp of the explanation.

i seams that you finally downloaded the .net framework kk
if you want just the script you can just delete the [pluginname].inf file from the output plugin folder
complains that I dont have the right folder
if you mean the WBlinkinstaller then yes you should pleace your plugin in the archive folder then in that folder you should move it to the right category such as App witch you can set from the program main window then you can click the istaller.cmd or just doit manually
the setcopylocal command will search throw the selectednode[includeing subnodes]
if it found a file it will check if it exist in the harddisk if not it will set copylocal propery to false this will tell the program that this file should be extracted from source cd

Is there a way to know what things are on the left pane that belonged to the Plugin.
