Dear,

Based on the input from Kent Dyer & Les Ligetfa we
have extend the iexpress packages a little bit.
New is:
  • implementation of "terminal service" model.
    we are using drive based on "systemroot" registry setting. it solves
    problems with unavailable C-drive.
    for the temporary files it will use as prefix %tmp% environment
    variable.
  • status of file association .scr untouch by another association.
  • additional information will be written to debugging file. So you can
    see what the actual registry settings for .K2K, .KIX, .SCR and .UDF are.
  • script returns now also a errorlevel- 0 = a complete installation done
    - 1 = a incomplete installation done
    this value can use in your BATch file.
    f.e.
    code:
    @echo off
     %0\..\kix410update.exe /q
     if errorlevel 1 goto server
     if errorlevel 0 goto client
     goto server
    :server
     %0\..\kix32.exe  %0\..\your_script.kix
     goto end
    :client
     kix32 %0\..\your_script.kix
    :end
    @echo off
  • in the NTx environment it isn't necessary to install the kx16.dll,
    kx32.dll and kx95.dll.
    we make it possible such installation, but for backward compatibility
    we introduce the additional environment variable kix-only-required.
    its value isn't important.
    the control file shows the result of such installation.
Current environment variables to control packages are
  • kix-debug
  • kix-only-required
  • kix-show
Examples:
  • a standard installation
    code:
    [KiXtart]
