Hi everyone!

I'm proud to announce the initial beta release of WinBuilder 075.

This is a very special release as it the first that showcases several improvements regarding the script engine and extensive bug fixes that have been reported on the bug tracker.

Peter (PSC) is the mentor for most these fixes and I would like to extend my personal thank you to him for all the good results that made possible such a good script performance.


------------


Please report back any issues that you find with this new beta version, lots of changes have been introduced on the engine so we need feedback to see if anything was left to be corrected.

If you find a bug on WinBuilder 074, please mention it on the bug tracker.

If you find a bug on WinBuilder 075, please post it here.

String handling!
Peter, if it weren't totaly inappropriate, i could kiss you!

[Galapo]

String handling!

Yes, now I can ditch my 'StringTrim.exe' "hack" I had to introduce with the WimPack script to remove a final slash from a variable! These are very handy new functions.

Hi everyone!

I'm proud to announce the initial beta release of WinBuilder 075.
......

One of the biggest overall improvement are the variables handling ....

Happy testing, hope you like this new version!

Congratulation for new (finally) beta under new Project management!
It took some time and I hope it will worth it!

I have made initial test with VistaPE 12 beta2 and VistaUltSP1 as a source:

1. Reported 116 warnings and all of them are:
System - Unrecognized setting [Refreshvars] System - Unrecognized setting [Refreshvars]

 log.zip   59.56K   333 downloads

2. Building went well, but Networking could not be started:

- Added - Version number next to script description
- Accelerated creation of log HTMLs

Usefull to have version number easily visible.
the log creation did seem to freeze things when creating it. Have to tests this new acceleration to see if it makes a difference.

introduction of direct support for running bartPE plugins as if they were app scripts.

Wow! Have to test this.


Quick Test:
I used NativeEx barebones. Got some errors about missing tools. Had to place them by hand for now. Just want to check the BartPE thing right quick. It seems to have copied the files over but it does not know how to read the XPE shortcuts and create them in the PE, I also notice none of the regular shortcuts are there also. Just the Start Folder. This is just a quick test. I will post more details on test from scratch on the weekend if possible.

Initial testing of LiveXP with XPCorpSP3 as a source:

1. CabCompressing and UPX counters look strange: (%i%/147)
and because of that 200 errors are generated!

2. Build freezes after boot splash screen?!

3. When I have started building LiveXP without restarting WinBuilder
after finishing building VistPE build, it displays old VistaPE log file!?!?

I have been forced to close and restart WinBuilder in order to get proper log file!!!

Hi Guys ,

Are there any significant changes within this new version of WinBuilder to warant writing a new tutorial or is it pretty much the same. I could amalgamate new features within the existing WinBuilder Tutorial if the main changes go on behind the scenes as it were? Or is it to soon yet?

Regards & Best Wishes,

1. Reported 116 warnings and all of them are:
System - Unrecognized setting [Refreshvars] System - Unrecognized setting [Refreshvars]

Nuno missed to add the release notes to the download.
I think this part of it will explain.

- System,RefreshVars:
Obsolete. The results of this command are now included in the new variables handling.
If you still use the command, you will get an warning message.
But this warning is just a message. The resulting project will work.
- System,RebuildVars: New. In the current LiveXP scripts it seems to be not needed. It is necessary in this case:
Set,%First%,first
Set,%Result%,"Here is %first%"
Echo,Value of #$pResult#$p is: %Result% >> Here is first
Set,%First%,second
Echo,Value of #$pResult#$p is: %Result% >> Here is first
System,RebuildVars
Echo,Value of #$pResult#$p is: %Result% >> Here is second

"System,RefreshVars" is part of LiveXP and VistaPE APIs.
It doesn't make troubles in LiveXP but in VistaPE does!

So, what is the solution: to replace "System,RefreshVars"
with "System,RebuildVars" or what?

[Galapo]

Speed increase is amazing, to say the least!

Problems with BootSDI, though:





This with version 59 but should be the same result with version 58 on nativeEx server (but untested).

Galapo.

In most cases it is not more necessary to replace RefreshVars by RebuildVars. In most cases it just can be deleted.

I intentionally did not change the functionality of RefreshVars but used a new name.

This gives the script developet tha ability to use it only there where it is necessary.
If all RefreshVars are just replaced by RebuildVars, you loose a lot of the speed increase.

On my system with XP SP2 source, BootSDI version 057 runs in all options

• Fixed size
  
• % of target
  
• Free Space

each with compress RAM drive

Initial testing of LiveXP with XPCorpSP3 as a source:

1. CabCompressing and UPX counters look strange: (%i%/147)
and because of that 200 errors are generated!

This is caused by an unitil now unknown bug in autoUPX and autoCompress:
The variable %I% is not initialized. While the old version got a random start value (usually 0), the new variables logic treates this as error.

On the nativeEx server there are new version 6 of autoCompress and version 21 of autoUPX. (nativeEx_core > finish > optimizations)

2. Build freezes after boot splash screen?!

I do not understand this

3. When I have started building LiveXP without restarting WinBuilder
after finishing building VistPE build, it displays old VistaPE log file!?!?

Independent of the project there is always only one log file 'log.html'. But this file has to be created after a build, by clicking the 'SAve as log.htlm' button.

Yes, now I can ditch my 'StringTrim.exe' "hack" I had to introduce with the WimPack script to remove a final slash from a variable! These are very handy new functions.

Regards,
Galapo.

I suggest to use instead of

StrFormat,RTrim,"String",1,%VarResult%

StrFormat,CTrim,"String",\,%VarResult%

While the first always removes the last character (maybe it can happen that it is not a backslash), the second one only removes one leading and one trailing backslash, if present.

Peter

[Galapo]

While the first always removes the last character (maybe it can happen that it is not a backslash), the second one only removes one leading and one trailing backslash, if present.

Peter, I must say that that is a very useful function indeed!

Thanks,
Galapo.

[Galapo]

On my system with XP SP2 source, BootSDI version 057 runs in all options

So is anyone else having issues with BootSDI? amalux, is it functioning for you?

EDIT: I just tested version 057 and same result as above. Seems like WB isn't passing a variable correctly to calculate. I'm also testing with xpsp2 as source.

Thanks,
Galapo.

[Galapo]

Quite strange. I started with a completely fresh LiveXP folder -- and BootSDI ran properly without error!

Only issue I can see now is with the MMC script. Shortcuts are not generated at all.

Regards,
Galapo.

[Galapo]

Peter, is it possible to include your stand-alone freeLetter into a WB internal function?

Can we have an example of the structuring of the 'Else' command? Can we use multiple 'Else' calls: If,...,Else,...,Else...?

Thanks,
Galapo.

[TheHive]

- Added - Version number next to script description

Where is this located. I dont see any script version number next to the script description on the gui.
It seems the same.

Notice the "19" in the screenshot: this represents the script version number.

Thanks! That escaped me when i was looking for it. That is very convinient.

Peter, is it possible to include your stand-alone freeLetter into a WB internal function?

Yes, it is possible.

But the decision whether to do so, has to be made by the Boss!
Maybe he does not like to include a functionality in WinBuilder which

• Is used rather rarely
  
• Can be reached by a bit 'ShellExecute'

Peter

[pscEx]

Only issue I can see now is with the MMC script. Shortcuts are not generated at all.

You found a big bug!

[Variables]

 $CreateShortcuts$=Run,%ScriptFile%,CreateMMCShortcuts

is not processed.

EDIT: Fixed

Will be available with next beta
