Please reply using this URL only: http://bugs.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37 Summary: WPKG Installer package installation broken user interfaces Product: WPKG installer Version: 0.20 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: WPKG installer AssignedTo: mangoo at mch.one.pl ReportedBy: petes-bugs at thegoldenear.org QAContact: wpkg-users at lists.wpkg.org I can use wpkg-start.bat to install applications with a minimal user interface (i.e. a progress dialog, such as is available with Inno's '/SILENT'), rather than completely silently, without problems. Doing so using the WPKG Installer service, all my applications' minimal user interfaces are broken in various but similar ways and there appears to be at least 1 application that prompts when it didn't when started as above. For example instead of a progress dialog you get the graphical icon of the application as shown in some installer's top right hand corner and just the top edge of the border of the window below it - I'm having this problem with GIMP. Some application installers have problems enough to have the installer make a prompt for user input, that they didn't have when run from wpkg-start.bat. In such cases their dialog box is visually corrupt, you get the outline of their window but the contents aren't displayed, if you press [Enter] with such a window selected the installer continues. An example of this is Nero BurnRights (whose window title is 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library'). Another example of an application whose interface is visually broken in that only the outer window border is displayed and not the contents, is the Ghostscript installer (which isn't a silent install, because I don't know the silent install options for it). I've tested this on a fresh installation of Windows XP SP2 with the most recent Autopatcher updates on 2 seperate machines. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.wpkg.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. |
