[wpkg-users] Settings screen resolution

[Paul McGrath]

I've done a lot of research on this today and I've learned that it is not possible as the 'system' level execution of the various tools (Display Changer, QRes and vmctl) is unable to interact with the 'explorer' desktop to affect the resolution changes.
It is possible to edit some registry values but that then requires a reboot.  Not really what I hoped.

Subject: [wpkg-users] Settings screen resolution

Hi,
  Has anyone tried setting the screen resolution using WPKG?
I’ve tried both qres and vmctl both as direct install lines referencing the .exe

       <install cmd='c:\NetInst\qres\qres.exe /X:640 /Y:480 ' />

And as part of a batch file

It works if I run the command or batch file manually but not using WPKG.

I originally couldn’t get “qres /L > listmodes.txt” to work as an install line but when I added it to a batch file it created the txt file.
My batch file looks like this:
c:\netinst\qres\qres.exe /l > c:\netinst\qres\listmodes.txt
c:\netinst\qres\qres.exe /x:640 /y:480
c:\netinst\qres\vmctl.exe --x=1027 --y=768
mkdir c:\netinst\qres\hello


The txt fileand the directory are  created.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Paul
