Ugh. I just found out SetupS doesn't convert incoming variables like that (or at least not as it is processing the input arguments).

Back to the drawing board. LOL

Okay, so SetupS has (for quite some time actually) the following function -- which only gets called whenever the variable %CDROM% or %CDDrive% is used: Func GetOpticalDrive() If $Debug Then _ConsoleWriteDebug('@@ Debug(Trace) SetupS.Core.au3|GetOpticalDrive()' & @CRLF) Local $i, $Found, $Drive, ...

They've finally gotten it in English now: ODDNS | The future of domain names management

Yes, and I think Ghost has already tested the method to be working. Yea!

We can even drop (or rename) "\ppAppsLive" in favor of "\ppApps" if we wanted.

And one more, greatly simplified example -- which is basically example 1 being applied to the situation with example 3 -- in that it doesn't matter whether or not the Live PE drive is writable nor that it's an XP-Live disk, etc. "ppAppsGen.cmd": @echo off SetupS "%~d0\ppApps" -Re...

Example 2: Use SetupScp with the -ppAppsDrive=[x] switch to set the ppDrives. This assumes the Live PE drive is "writable" (such as a bootable usb flash-drive) and has a folder called "\ppApps" with suitable apps, of course. @SetupScp -ppAppsDrive=%SystemDrive% -ppGamesDrive=%Sy...

Did some more fine-tuning on this function. And revised the first post to reflect my most recent changes. :) Some notes: ⋅ Swapped $iFlag values for return Full-path (now "4" to set) and Recursion ("8" to set). ⋅ Keeping the same syntax for sorting as the DIR ...

Example 1: Simply use the -Regen switch. This switch allows the parent folder to be anything . It also prevents SetupS from installing apps and only "regenerates" them -- this is the so-called Regen-mode. For example, the Live PE disk might have a folder called "\ppAppsLive" (an...

One of the abilities of SetupS -- the creating of shortcuts -- is somewhat complex and therefore can cause some confusion. For example, not many are aware that whole folders can be "sent to" SetupS. Such as "D:\ppApps" or "D:\Stuff.For.SetupS.To.Install". :lol: With Liv...

Yeah, you wouldn't be the first to claim that politicians are prostitutes with suits -- with apologies to honest prostitutes . And one of the platforms of the Occupy movement has been a constitutional amendment to remove big business from government.

Also you might want to check your sort order option. At least in Win7 x64, /ong gives different results than /ogn. I think you want /ogn. Yeah, it looks like /ong gives the exact same results as /on regardless (basically the 'n' ignores the 'g'). Whereas /og just separates folders from files withou...

To be fair, _FileListToArray mentions that it is basically the DIR /b and when you think about it that if you're not doing recursive listings then you probably already would (or should) know the path you're getting the listing for anyway. Since it would make no sense or I don't think anything useful...

Even better than advertised! Wonderful! A success then I assume? Partially. It seems the results greatly improve with increased number of files/folders to collect -- for example, from the "C:\Windows" folder. But the results actually get worse with much smaller numbers such as from the &q...

So far my tests are showing an increase in speed of between 30-40%.

EDIT: Appears to be for recursive listings only though. It's actually a little slower than the original otherwise (likely due to taking an overhead cost with the external call).

Got the following from Onepiece via BP -- with some slight modifications from me. It does seem faster, so later I'll do some comparative timings with SetupS between the two methods. If it's significantly faster -- the claims are as high as 20% -- then I'll adapt it to SetupS (v8 & v9). :clap: #i...

Perhaps more significantly, Red Hat's success validates the idea that open-source software can form the basis of a viable business model.

... and that right there sums up my feelings exactly

This appears very promising...

Cool and useful bit of knowledge, thanks

We here at ssTek do not code viruses. In addition, everything here is open-source. Which means anyone can merely review the code and find out for themselves that there's no security issue and that it's perfectly safe. Unfortunately, when working with ssTek tools, it is not uncommon to encounter fals...

Oh, yeah, to ensure all are at the same v8 level I've pushed the RC2 release onto the nightly builds channel too. This is so that everybody will be up to speed on exactly the latest v8 build before I start releasing v9 builds here later.

Man, you were totally on the mark with that LFD comment.

the ":" was a typo :roll: I also don't intend to use the "/" character since that's already being used as a delimiter (for categories) and could also be confused with the path characters used with the startmenu catalog entries. Also, both the <Category> and <Catalog> sections wer...
