WinBuilder 075 - beta testing, beta 6 - Proxy working, the best script engine EVER! External links Rating Options

[Nuno Brito]

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.

****************

System,ONSCRIPTEXIT,command



This statement can be written anywhere inside the running part of a script.

It is exexuted after the last script's statement has been executed.



If command is 'Run', as parameter #1 the 'type' of the exit is passed

DONE > normal finish

STOP > the user clicked the STOP button

ERROR > the script has been finished because of an error

COMMAND > the script has beeen finished because of a System,Halt or System,Exit command

EXCEPTION > a system exception occurred during process, e.g. 'index out of bounds'

This should not occur in a debugged script; it is a help for the .script developer.



Samples:



System,ONSCRIPTEXIT,Run,%ScriptFile%,Cleanup



[Cleanup]

If,#1,Equal,ERROR,Begin

...

End



System,ONSCRIPTEXIT,Message,"Everything Done!",INFORMATION



****************

System,ONBUILDEXIT,command



This statement can be written anywhere inside the running part of any script.

Always the last executed statement is valid.

So different scripts can define different actions or deactivate with

System,ONBUILDEXIT,



It is exexuted, after the last script in the project has been processed.



If command is 'Run' as parameter #1 the 'type' of the exit is passed

DONE > normal finish of the complete build

STOP > the user clicked the STOP button. This has ended the build

ERROR > a script has been finished because of an error. This has ended the build

COMMAND > a script has beeen finished because of a System,Halt command. This has ended the build

EXCEPTION > a system exception occurred during process, e.g. 'index out of bounds'

This should not occur in a debugged script; it is a help for the .script developer.



Sample:



System,ONBUILDEXIT,Run,%ProjectDir%\CleanupScript,Cleanup



***************

optional timeout for Message and If,Question



The current syntax is still valid and holds the dialog open 'for ever':

Message,MessageText,INFORMATION

If,QUESTION,QuestionText,command



Timeout for Message and If,Question:



Message,MessageText,INFORMATION,10

The message dialog closes when clicking the 'OK' or when it has been visible for 10 seconds



If,QUESTION,QuestionText,3,True,command

The question dialog closes when clicking the 'Yes' 'No' or when it has been visible for 3 seconds.

In the second case clicking of 'Yes' is assumed to be True



If,QUESTION,QuestionText,5,False,command

The question dialog closes when clicking the 'Yes' 'No' or when it has been visible for 5 seconds.

In the second case clicking of 'Yes' is assumed to be False



***************

optionally hide 'Source' tab:

Global: In WinBuilder.ini, manually set [Main]ShowSourceTab=False

Project: In script.project, manually set [Main]ShowSourceTab=False



script.project values overwrite WinBuilder.ini values!



If the 'Source' tab is hidden, there is also no check for valid source!



****************

some new functionality to the 'Set' command



Currently:

Set,%Var%,NewValue



New:

Set,%Var%,NewValue,GLOBAL: %Var% will be defined in all subsequent scripts of the current build.



Set,%Var%,NewValue,PERMANENT: %Var% will be defined in all subsequent scripts of the current build.

- Additionally %Var% is written into script.project and therefore valid for all subsequent builds.



If NewValue is 'NIL' (w/o the apostrophes) the variable will be removed (current script, current build or permanent like in the normal Set) and will not be detected in an 'If,EXISTVAR' statement.



Of course this causes that NIL as value for a variable is forbidden!



****************

StrFormat,REPLACE and StrFormat,SPLIT



StrFormat,REPLACE,String,CharsToReplace,ReplacementChars,%VarResult%



StrFormat,SPLIT,String,DelimiterChar,Index,%VarResult%

Index=0 > number of items



Sample:

[variables]

%from%=brown

%to%=yellow

%source%=The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog



[process]

StrFormat,REPLACE,%source%,%from%,%to%,%VarResult%

Echo,%VarResult%

StrFormat,SPLIT,%source%,#$s,0,%count%

Loop,%ScriptFile%,Section,1,%count%



[section]

StrFormat,SPLIT,%source%,#$s,#c,%VarResult%

Echo,%VarResult%



result:

[Success] StrFormat - converted [REPLACE(%source%,%from%,%to%)] to variable: [%VarResult%] with result: [The quick yellow fox jumps over the lazy dog]

[Info] The quick yellow fox jumps over the lazy dog

[Success] StrFormat - converted [SPLIT(%source%, ,0)] to variable: [%count%] with result: [9]

Loop [Section] From file: [%BaseDir%\Projects\nativeEx_barebone_075\CodeBox.txt]

Loop - Processed section [Section] in file: [%BaseDir%\Projects\nativeEx_barebone_075\CodeBox.txt]



************************

language dependent interface



Additional to the [Interface] section a script can contain an 'unlimited' number of [Interface-<language>] sections.

<language> is the item you can choose in Tools > Language



If the user has choosen a language different from "_default" (English) and [Interface-<language>] exists,

the the GUI is drawn unsing this section rather than using [Interface].



CAUTION: The [Interface-<language>] section must contain ALL [Interface] items, not only those which are different!



IMPORTANT: If you edit the interface, only the currently active one is changed, either [Interface] or [Interface-<language>]



************************

added - optional confirmation of Build STOP button click



If in WinBuilder.ini a key like

StopAgree=Realy stop the build?

is defined, this question comes up after clicking the STOP button during build, and the user can decide between 'Yes' and 'No'.

This gives e.g. the possibility to interrupt the build for a while to do some other tasks.



There is a language mechanism like in 'language dependent interface'



Sample:



StopAgree=Really stop the build?

StopAgree-German=Wirklich abbrechen?

StopAgree-Portuguese=Você quer interromper-se realmente?



If the language is German, the German question comes up.

If the language is Portuguese, the Portuguese question comes up.

With ALL other languages the English Question comes up





************************

added - StrFormat,CharToOem and StrFormat,OemToChar commands



Sample:

[process]

StrFormat,CHARTOOEM,'aüöäasf',%var%

Echo,%var%

StrFormat,OEMTOCHAR,%var%',%var%

Echo,%var%



Result:



[Success] StrFormat - converted [CHARTOOEM('aüöäasf',%var%)] to variable: [%var%] with result: ['a�”„asf']

[Info] 'a�”„asf'

[Success] StrFormat - converted [OEMTOCHAR(%var%',%var%)] to variable: [%var%] with result: ['aüöäasf'']

[Info] 'aüöäasf''



************************

changed - Source tab implementation



Now in the main window the 'Script', 'Paths', 'Codebox', 'Log' tabs are independent from the project tree view.

If in previous versions you are e.g. in the 'Codebox' tab and clicked a different node in the tree view, you automatically switched to the 'Script' tab.



Now in this case you remain in the Codebox tab, but in the background everything is changed to the new active tree view node.

You can see: If the new node belongs to a different project, the Codebox contents changes to the snippets of that different project.



Switching to other tabs, you see the contents belonging to the new node.



************************

added - StrFormat,POS



Sample:

[Process]

StrFormat,POS,"Hello World",orl,%var%

Echo,%var%



Result:

StrFormat - converted [POS(Hello World,orl,%var%)] to variable: [%var%] with result: [8]

8



****************

added - System,REGREDIRECT



System,REGREDIRECT,64

System,ERROROFF,2

RegRead,HKLM,SOFTWARE\InnoTek\VirtualBox,InstallDir,%VBPath%

If,NOTEXISTVAR,%VBPath%,RegRead,HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Sun\xVM VirtualBox",InstallDir,%VBPath%

System,REGREDIRECT,OFF



added - System,FILEREDIRECT



System,FILEREDIRECT,OFF

ShellExecute,Hide,"cmd.exe","/c imdisk -d -m %FreeLetter%"

System,FILEREDIRECT,ON



****************

added - On_Exit and On_Enter events to scripts



This applies to navigating in the project tree ONLY. It does not have any influence on running the scripts

When in the project tree by mouse click on by key stroke you enter a script:

If the script has the section [On_Enter] the section is processed.

Corresponding functionality with [On_Exit] when leaving the script.

********************

Loop statement can run between characters, e.g. drive letters



Sample:



[variables]

%a_searchFile%=Program Files\BootStick_2008_001\Pstart.exe



[process]

Loop,%ScriptFile%,Try,a,z

If,EXISTFILE,%pstart%,ShellExecute,OPEN,%pstart%



[try]

Set,%pstart%,#c:\%a_searchFile%

If,EXISTFILE,%pstart%,Loop,BREAK



******************

New Syntax:

RegDelete,HKLM,Section,Key deletes 'Key' under 'Section'

RegDelete,HKLM,Section deletes the complete 'Section'

Old Syntax:

RegDelete,HKLM,Section,Key,Value deletes 'Value' under 'Section\Key'

RegDelete,HKLM,Section,Key deletes the complete 'key' under 'Section'



******************

'Not' option to If command



You negate an If command by inserting an 'Not'

If,someting,... > If,Not,something ...

If,Not,%var1%,EQUAL,%var2%,command

has the same result as

If,%var1%,NOTEQUAL,%var2%,command



The current NOTEQUAL, NOTEXISTDIR, ... commands are still processes because of compatibility reasons

But before processing they are internally changed into If,Not,...

Therefore

If,NOT,%var%,NOTEQUAL,%test%,...

is invalid and may produce inpredictable results



Try this in CodeBox:

[Process]

Set,%var%,3

If,%var%,EQUAL,3,Echo,"3 is equal to %var%"

If,Not,%var%,EQUAL,3,Echo,"3 is not equal to %var%"

If,%var%,NOTEQUAL,3,Echo,"3 is not equal to %var%"

Set,%var%,4

If,%var%,EQUAL,3,Echo,"3 is equal to %var%"

If,Not,%var%,EQUAL,3,Echo,"3 is not equal to %var%"

If,%var%,NOTEQUAL,3,Echo,"3 is not equal to %var%"



****************

StrFormat can extract path, filename and extentions from URLs:



[Variables]

%DownloadURL1%=http://live.sysinternals.com/Bginfo.exe



[Process]

StrFormat,PATH,%DownloadURL1%,%fnam%

StrFormat,FILENAME,%DownloadURL1%,%fnam%

StrFormat,EXT,%DownloadURL1%,%fnam%



results in:



StrFormat - converted: [%DownloadURL1%] to variable: [%fnam%] with result: [http://live.sysinternals.com/]

StrFormat - converted: [%DownloadURL1%] to variable: [%fnam%] with result: [Bginfo.exe]

StrFormat - converted: [%DownloadURL1%] to variable: [%fnam%] with result: [.exe]



***************

New If commands:



If,ExistRegSection,HKLM,Section,Command

If,ExistRegKey,HKLM,Section,Key,Command



***************

Scripts having '[Main] Mandatory=True' are marked in the tree with a red exclamation mark and cannot be deselected.

In the Interface editor there is a check box 'Mandatory' to set or unset this property.

This protection mechanism can be switched off by the developer by adding [Main] Mandatory=False to WinBuilder.ini



***************

Autosave option



Autosave is On by default.

You can switch it permanently On / Off by using the 'Options' tab in Tools Mode

The 'save' button in the source editor is only visible if autosave is off.

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 ) Number of downloads: 138


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

Peter

"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?
