I was too afraid to break things up, so I made the modifications 
internally.


Here is my copy.

If everyone is ok, I can update the repository with this copy


Yeah, I can understand that!
I was also worried about making changes to perl.bat, so in the end I 
made another script strawberryperl.bat and used that instead.


Thanks for your copy of the script, I will compare it to mine to see if 
there's anything I forgot.
(It seems like the mailing list strips attachments, I guess anyone else 
following this mailing list will not get the file.)


In any case, since I have a working setup for Strawberry Perl now, I am 
not that dependent on whether the unattended repository is up to date.
But I guess the copy of perl.bat in the repository would not work for 
anyone who might download unattended for the first time.

So it might be good to get it updated at some point.

You could see if anyone else on this mailing list has any comments 
first, yup.

Re: [Unattended-Dev] Experiences with Strawberry Perl instead of ActivePerl?

2023-07-19 Thread Johan Ho via unattended-devel

Hello Juanjo,
I completely forgot about this for a while, what is the status of 
switching to Strawberry Perl?
I see that the perl.bat script in the repository still points to an old 
ActivePerl package that is no longer available for download.


I tested now using Strawberry Perl in our own unattended installation, 
using code from this e-mail thread.
It seems like everything works fine as long as I add the 
"ApplicationAssociationToasts" registry fixes that I mentioned.


I tested both the cpan version and the "offline" version of the code 
(with the tar package of NetResource), both seemed to work fine.
(I will probably just stick to using CPAN myself, since the rest of our 
unattended install requires network connection anyways.)
I have only tested in Windows 10 though, I have not tested any other 
Windows versions.

Is this about the "Open with..." dialogue window that tends to pop up?
(I can't see the PNG since I guess it wasn't sent to the mailing list.)

I think I solved this in my Windows 10 unattended script by setting the
"ApplicationAssociationToasts" entries for .pl files to 0 in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts]
"Applications\\Notepad.exe_.pl"=dword:
"Applications\\WordPad.exe_.pl"=dword:
"Applications\\perl.exe_.pl"=dword:

Or if you do it directly from a script/command line:

reg add
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
/v "Applications\Notepad.exe_.pl" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
/v "Applications\WordPad.exe_.pl" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
/v "Applications\perl.exe_.pl" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

There might be some changes needed to make this work with Strawberry Perl.

Hopefully this helps.

Sounds like a good idea to me at least!

I assume those commands should work the same across all Windows versions?

Re: [Unattended-Dev] [unattended:code] New commit by mythrix

Huh, but the DC/12 version of Adobe Reader is also 32-bit? It is 
installed in %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% and the executable is also called 
AcroRd32.exe.

I'm guessing DC just checks the OS version when installing and stops if 
it's not at least Windows 7.

That's why I thought it was just as well to call the new file by version 
name.

Oh! It is possible I removed it because dotnet is preinstalled in 
Windows 7, so I didn't think about keeping it for Windows XP when I was 
editing the file.

Feel free to add it back for compatibility!

Nah, truth is, I was also trying to get the dotnet.bat script to

Re: [Unattended-Dev] Unattended logo

2014-09-23 Thread Johan Ho
Hey, I'm no artist either, but I think the colors you used might be a 
bit too much? The blue background seems to kind of overpower the 
unattended title text.


I made a rough edit using colors reminiscent of old terminals just as a 
test of other colors, but it is also a suggestion. In any case I think 
it might be better to use a milder background color.


As for the design itself, I guess I like no 1 better!

I am not an artist but I have a couple of logos so you can give some

 well, I hope it tthis change breaks something people will tell.


Apparently the ODF addon we install for Office 2010 only works with .NET 
3.5 (or .NET 2), and there are no updates available for that addon.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter/

But that is the only program we have in our unattended installation that 
seems to have an issue with installing only .NET 4.5.

I'll just roll back the .NET script in my own unattended installation, 
I'm sure this is not reason enough to roll it back on the unattended 
repository.

Re: [Unattended-Dev] Thunderbird and Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release)

Huh strange, I had subscribed to the e-mail digest for this mailing 
list, but I didn't get any of your replies! Couldn't even find any 
mention of them in our maillog. Tried turning off digest mode for now.

Anyways, I decided to try out Thunderbird 11, but had some problems with 
lagging possibly whenever it was checking for new mail. Either that or 
when the Lightning calendar addon updated the calendars.

So now I'm downgraded to Thunderbird 10 ESR to see if it has less lag. I 
was thinking of using something like thunderbird_esr.bat and 
firefox_esr.bat for the file names, but do you think it's better to use 
thunderbird10.bat and firefox10.bat to separate the different versions 
even more?
