Before you download it , you'll need to have .NET framework 2.0


Updated

You can import pebuilder plugin's and generate script file's to run with winbuilder

if you have any idea's to improve this program please let me know

fixed
error message "List index out of bounds (4)"

[thunn]

Regarding that error, I believe it means one of the items your program is trying to access is not within the scope of it's 'knowledge'. Like a registry entry that exists in XP but not PE, something your program just spits back out...
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.

Nice tool!

This error happen if the syntax of a command is not right. For more information ouy can see the wiki

Welcome to the board h7se.

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

You also run into that error, when your script tries to edit a unicode file!

Welcome to Boot Land h7se!


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 = "

Thanks alot i think i'll make a new upoload today that supports shortcust and autorun file's.


Nuno thanks alot for your help

did any one test the generated script ? what do you think about it , is it good or i should modify the way it work ?

[h7se]

New Version

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 ?

[MedEvil]

I think we agreed upon, doing as little at boot-time as possible and moving as much as possible to build-time.
Shortcuts were one of those things, though only you know if that is possible, with the converted plugins.

[Brito]

All shortcuts are made when the project is built - they are then extracted to the ramdisk when the system boots up, this is the reason why build model is used.

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!

Hi


New upload

i fixed the problem with SourceDisksFolders so now instead of copying the folder it self it will copy the contnent of the folder just like pebuilder

Vedio How Convert Inf To Script


if you need codec to play this vedio try this
TechSmith Screen Capture Codec Installation

[Brito]

The video really helps to understand how it works - now I only need to download some PE plugins to test it..

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?

[TheHive]

Very good video. Your getting better at creating video tutorials. With this type of video examples I would not be scared to use your application as I was when you first released it. I can probably follow it.

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.

[h7se]

was you able to run the previous upload ?

if not then what version of dotnet runtime file's you have installed ?

[h7se]

Hi Nuno

if forget i'm using TechSmith Screen Capture

did you run last upload succesfully ?

[Brito]

Hi Nuno

if forget i'm using TechSmith Screen Capture

did you run last upload succesfully ?

Thanks for tip.

I've run it sucessfully, haven't needed to install .NET since it was already available from my local windows but it seems to run fine.

[TheHive]

lol! I forgot that it needs Net Framework.

[h7se]

i updated the program now works fine with expand command so you can for example import xpe-mmc or wmp and build a working script for it.

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

Ultra fast learning..

Just seen the video, regedit.ex_ might not be found, but regedit.exe is available on my I386 windows source..

Nice going!

Arghn... Dot.Net
Hate it, when people force me to download 50+MB, just to run a program a few KB big!

[TheHive]

I love the videos. lol! you recorded the last mistakes of not finding the file.
This is going to be a very usefull tool.

[TheHive]

I tried following the video but I could not convert a plugin from Reatago to Script.

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.

[h7se]

Hi TheHive


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

[TheHive]

We dont need the Links file since we dont have an Arcive folder anymore. We just need a script created. On most plugin from BarPE and Reatogo, I already have the completed plugin . They have the "Files" folder that contains the files inside. They dont need to gather any more stuff. It would be good to have those files embeded into the script. I dont know much about creating plugins. Im using mostly other peoples creations. They are very good and would like to turn them into scripts for Winbuilder. Your solution seems to be the easiest so far.


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