Thanks Shawn,

It looks like a the first sight that there is a problem with the latest kixtart release, but
it is possible a problem with an add-on.

Some good questions are:
  • who guarantees related kixtart tools like f.e. KixGui, kixref & kixstrip?
  • how can I reduce dependencies of such tools?
  • what is done or not done?
  • what are the most common used tools?
Our opinion:
  • of course the creators of those tools. also it will be nice to know what
    the support level is.
    of course you must know most of those freeware tools voluntary.
    of course some third party software isn't any problem at all, because they
    simply generate output which is processing by your script.
  • use f.e. a variable to execute or bypass code which has relations which
    such tools.
  • done using tools with an acceptable support level.
    not done using tools which requires great effort by creator, for your
    script and impact for your environment when it isn't working anymore.
    an alternative can be: running different kind of kixtart releases.
  • it will be nice when a poll will created about
    - what are the know kixtart tools
    - what is the user group
    - who is the creator
    - what is the support level (suggest to determine it after a poll)
    - can "tool" be modified by you
    A short list of tools, add-on, etc.:
    - kixcrypt/wkixcrypt
    - kixref
    - kixstrip
    - kix???update/kix???registry
    - kixlib32
    - kixforms
    - kixwinvb
    - kixgui
    - kixhelp.chm (from Scriptlogic or other site)
    - kix_starters
    - BBCodeParser
    - jmail
    - w32time
    Are we missing something for the list? After your feedback we create a poll of
    it.
greetings.
