RVM Integrator v1.5 RC5
http://professorcpu.net/IMAGES/RVM-Integrator_1.5.gif
v1.5 has been in developement for almost a year. It has been completely re-wrritten from the ground up multiple times due to major changes. It fixes the only major issue which was in v1.4.3 with Spaces and Symbols in the paths. It is also now compatable with Windows Vista. It has many new features! :D Some of my favorites are:
1. The new Driver.CAB Cacheing (Which can save about 10 minutes of your UpdatePack integration times!
2. The new Re-Compress Update/Addon Pack plugin (Which can also save tons of time from integrating UpdatePacks and AddonPacks.
3. The integrator can now directly integrate Switchless Installers that are not compressed into Addons!
4. It now keeps original file timestamps.
5. It has a bigger Graphical User Interface With a brand new Logo, Thanks to HJW and Wolfx2 for the graphics!
And many other great additions!
The integrator is much more powerful with the addition of new Entries sections and Plugin features which will allow Addon creators to make addons that are much more sophisticated!
I hope everyone appreciates all of the work the Beta Team and I have put into this release. I personnally would like to thank all of the beta testers for their help!!!
Changes:
Fixed: (RC5) When using the old "/iso" switch the integrator would attempt to perform a new integration after compiling your iso. Even if you do not specify the /Integrate switch.
Fixed: (RC5) The [RunFile] section would hide cmd windows even if ,HIDE was not specified.
Fixed: (RC5) The [WinntSif] section was giving an error which would stop integration.
Improvement: (RC5) Increased the cell width for "Enter parameters for the above program" as requested to give more room for other languages to translate it for the gui.
Fixed: (RC4c) Integrator was giving an error when integrationg an UpdatePack with no addons.
Fixed: (RC4c) When Specifying /Load with a path and file it was failing.
Addition: (RC4c) Two new parameters: /AutoDelete which will answer to delete files if when copying files from source to destination finds existing files. /AutoOverwrite will Automatically overwrite files at the same point.
Improvement: (RC4b) When using /Load and /Save parameters you can just specify the file without the path and the integrator will use it's own directory as the path. Also detecting the old method uses this as well. This will fix the bug with RC4 not working with AutoImage.
Addition: (RC4) Added many new Unattended Parameters! You can read about them here: http://siginetsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=283
Fixed: (RC4) Attempted to fix compatability using the integrator in Linux (WINE). - Needs to be tested.
Change: (RC4) Moved "Optimize System Files" Option to the Main Tab.
May have been a couple other tweaks to the code if I remember right... but I don't remember what.
Improvement: (RC3c) WPI Plugin files are only copied if needed or newer version exists.
Fixed: (RC3c) Slipstreaming during integration was broken.
Fixed: (RC3b) Really fixed.... Integrator was not recompressing messenger files.
Fixed: (RC3b) Slipstreaming of Servicepack files was broken.
Fixed: (RC3) Integrator was not recompressing messenger files.
Fixed: (RC3) The gui now supports Large (120 DPI) Fonts.
Fixed: (RC3) [Obsolete] was not removing some entries from svcpack.inf.
Fixed: (RC3) There was a small flaw in [KeyDelete] Basically if a user created an addon that tried to delete Keys from SVCPACK.inf, DOSNET.INF, TXTSETUP.SIF, and SYSOC.INF then it would fail because those files reside in rvmtemp. It did however work on those files if the user specified the entire line to delete. It only failed on these specific files if only the key was defined.
Change: (RC3) When a settings file is loaded it is now copied to integrator.ini instead of pointing the integrator to a different settings file.
Addition: (RC2) The integrator will now save your original timestamps on edited files.
Improvement: (RC2) Bigger Graphical User Interface, with a new Logo, Thanks to HJW and Wolfx2!
Improvement: (RC2) Updated English_1.5.lng file.
Improvement: (RC2) Changed the way certain files are executer to give better compatability with system settings.
Fixed: (RC2) [ExtraFileEdits] was parsing variables when it was not supposed to.
Addition: Added a new advanced option to cache driver.cab. This comes in handy for those of us who integrate multiple copies of our disks. It dramatically speeds up multiple integrations by about 10 minutes (Depending on your computer's speed). It detects if it is xp home, pro. 2003 and it also verifies the md5hash of each file that was added to driver.cab. If the cached files match all the above then it copies the cached driver.cab instead of recompressing driver.cab... which is the longest portion of integration. If it doesn't match all the above then it will perform a recompression of driver.cab and cache the finished files for later.
Addition: Added the ability to add switchless .exe files as addons. They are automatically added to svcpack and svcpack.inf.
Addition: Added a new plugin... "ReCompress Update/AddonPacks". This new plugin will utalize the integrator to allow a user to optimize any UpdatePacks/AddonPacks so that when used for integration they will not need to compress most files found in I386_Compress. It also will ask for a txtsetup.sif file you can specify for the integrator to parse to find files that are compressable. (Specifying a txtsetup.sif file is reccommended... but is completely optional.)
Addition: Added the option to SlipStream a ServicePack file without performing an integration.
Addition: Added a new Inputbox to the "MakeISO Tab" (This also means there is a new addition to the English_1.5.lng file as well: 1135 = Browse To the Location Which Contains the Finished I386 Directory.)
Addition: The integrator now checks the I386 Directory for existing compressed or uncompressed files which are being moved from rvmtemp\extracted. If they exist they are deleted before the transfer.
Addition: Added usable Fourth pole in ExtraFileEdits which forces the integrator to use Case Sensativity when editing files. - Requested by: enu_user.
Addition: Added code to prevent users from integrating RyanVM's 2.2x Updatepacks over 2.1.x UpdatePacks. - Requested by RyanVM for future UpdatePacks.
Addition: Added new @PLUGINS variable for use with [FileCopy], [FileMove], [DirCopy], [DirMove], [RunFile] and the new [CreateCab] and [ExpandCab] sections. This new variable will allow a UpdatePack/Addon creator to specify the RVM Integrators PLUGINS directory as a place of source/Destination of files.
Addition: You can now use parameters in the [RunFile] section.
Addition: Added 2 new Sections that can be used in any entries file for expanding and creating complete cab archives. [ExpandCab] and [CreateCab]. They were mainly created so that people can make Media Center UpdatePacks/Addons.
Addition: Added code to automatically parse txtsetup.sif to see which files can be compressed in the i386 directory. It also automatically compresses cat files too. (I386_compress is still available as well.)
Addition: Added support to automatically parse drvindex.inf to see if files need to be copied or moved to driver.cab. (drivercab_copy and drivercab_move are still available as well.)
Addition: mmsetup.cab recompression is automatically performed if msmsgs.exe is found in the updatepack or if the section mmssetupcab_move is found in entries.ini. It does not recompress mmsetup.cab if neither of those areas are found.
Addition: Completly removed modifype.exe due to Vista incompatabilities and replaced it with n7Epsilon's PEChecksum.exe. Thanks n7Epsilon! (This file is used in the patch addons to make sure the correct PEHeaders are placed in HexEdited files.)
Addition: When you click on the Config: integrator.ini located on the main gui tab it will open the ini in notepad.
Improvement: [HexEdit] sections were expanding and recompressing files for every single edit made to the file. Now it only expands the file once and then recompresses when it finishes all edits.
Improvement: [ExtraFileEdits] sections were expanding and recompressing files for every single edit made to the file. Now it only expands the file once and then recompresses when it finishes all edits.
Improvement: Changed the way the integrator detects Upgrade disks. Hopefully this will be more universal. Only tested on windows XP.
Improvement: Files are now moved instead of copied during the "Shifting Files Around" stage of integration which will drastically improve on the integration time.
Improvement: The integrator will now add a .ini to the end of any filename given in Save Settings (if .ini doesn't allready exist at the end of the name).
Improvement: Forced [EditFile] to create any directory structure and the file it is editing if it does not allready exist.
Improvement: Posted new English_1.5.lng file which contains more areas to translate. (Like the menu items at the top)
Improvement: Re-Wrote the entire Translation portion of the integrator so that it does not need to know the exact amount of lines used for translation.
Improvement: Added more advanced debugging. When you select the advanced debug features it will show a lot more paths in the log.
Improvement: The Advanced Option "Convert Unicode to ANSI" feature should be obsolete now so it has been removed.
Improvement: Made the integrator check if at least 1.5 GB of space is available to perform integration.
Improvement: Got rid of the need for xcopy.exe.
Fixed: The integrator is now fully compatable with Windows Vista x86 and x64 versions.
Fixed: Path issues with 7zdn.exe which should get rid of a lot of bugs with spaces and symbols in the paths.
Fixed: Slipstreaming during integration when selecting "<NO>" didn't always run.
Fixed: "French Windows XP retail and OEM CD are correctly recognized, but not the corporate one."
Fixed: Detection of Corporate and Upgrade disks. Please check each os you have to see if it is detected correctly. If it is not please post your Pidgen.dll file So I can figure out why.
It would be awsome if you could all check out my http://Support.SiginetSoftware.com page and join as a refferal on my http://www.yourps34free.com/index.php?ref=4517441 It is very easy. Just sign up with an email address then order 1 offer. Once your order is verified then I have you as a refferal. I have even found a YouTube video of an official NBC G4TV broadcast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug ) to make you feel more comfortable. ;)
I only need 11 more refferals to get a Playstation3. Thanks VCC for being my first refferal!!!
I am getting some people signing up... but most of them are not filling out an offer. I don't get credit unless 1 offer is complete.
