I've tested and it appears that the current version of ExeBuilder works fine with Spoon Studio 9.5 projects. However these days I have made some small modifications to the code (not related with the new Spoon Studio version): - icon was changed (previous icon was from Spoon Studio main exe file so not 100% ok to use); - is not using anymore a separate module for compiling exe files but it is using a exe "template" stored in resources; - a rare bug was fixed: when the path to the project files was very long the exe files could not be generated (thanks to highend for reporting it); - a few other small bugs fixed. I have updated the links in the first post of the thread.
Hia_catalin, Thanks for sharing the ExeBuilder. Can you please guide me on how to use this tool? I copied it to the same folder as "Files & XAPPL" and run it. It gave me this error "Please set a valid output file name in the project file!" I did give the output file name a name but it still not happy. I know I'm missing something here. Many thanks
No, no official changelog. Strange that two versions are released in such a short time. However I have not tested the software with Office, but I will as soon as possible
I will be out of town for a few days in a place without internet connection so if anyone needs help with ExeBuilder I will be able to do so only when I get back. virtualworld, I waited your reply until now but I have to go... I hope those images helped you to fix your problem.
Sorry a_catalin. I was away on training for 2 days. Those images did help me a great deal (thank you). After Spoon built *.dat output, I started a few of the .exe generated by ExeBuilder and it says "Cannot start *.dat"! Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll be away from my computer for a few days so you won't get any replies. Thanks
Hi a_catalin Great app, and thanks for making it ! Another feature that i'm missing from Spoon Studio is the ability to export the xappl files reg contents to a regfile. The import feature is excellent though. Could you make a reg exporter ?
Sorry for not replying sooner, like I said I was out of town. @virtualworld, could you please send me a link to the xappl file, perhaps for dat file also (compressed if possible) ? Thank you. @dobbelina, is not that easy to do this but I will give it a try...
Ah, after lots of head scratching it's working now. The autostart has got files ticked by default. After unticked all of that it worked. Thanks for the great tool a_catalin.
Thank you, yes, I saw... I didn't have time to test it, I'm working to improve Unicode support in ExeBuilder...
At first check, it's a sort of maintenance version. Only some few template. The software still the same of 2020.0
New version of ExeBuilder. What's changed: - you can select now multiple rows in the list and delete them; - Unicode implementation: you can now have in files/folders names (project name, dat file name, exe name, folder name) some special characters specific to a language and Windows set to another language; - the exe files are built in Windows temp folder now, not in the current folder; - some small fixes. I updated the 2 links (exe and sources) in the first post of the thread. One other thing: since I can't test in all the languages please let me know if there is a problem. I will fix it as soon as possible.
Hi catalin, hi have some question/implementation to ExeBuilder I have tested with the new version 95.2025, seem no problem to create shortcut 1) Sometime, even if there is a shortcut on the desktop, the icon is not displayed, and i'm edit your files with external software to add the icon. Can you add a button to select the file .ink or .exe from ExeBuilder take the icon? 2) I don' t understand the UNICODE feature, it seem equal to the old version. Can you show me a screenshot with the difference from the two version? Thanks. John
Thanks for Unicode explanation. For the icon, thats the point. Spoon don`t recognize the icon but the icon exist. The .exe was an entry point, but isn't the principal entry point ( so you can't select icon, metadata ecc... ) Sorry, but I don`t have the original spoon file, and the .exe created by ExeBuilder is modify by Anolis Resourcer.
You're welcome. You can extract the original exe (or any other file) from the virtualized application. Start the virtualized application. Do something that requires to open or save a file. In the open/save dialog set to display *.* and go to a link or exe of a file manager, right click on it and select Run. With that file manager you have access to the virtualized files/folders. But it's no need to send me the file, I understood what you meant to say. Like I said I will try to implement such a feature. But It will not be so easy... For example I have to make special code to display Vista/7 256x256 png compressed icons.
From the next capture, i'll integrate in the snapshot a file browser (free commander, total commander, etc) so we can make changes to the filesystem of the software "captured" and any changes will store in the sandbox. For example add a plugin / service pack without re-capture the entire software. If we want to restore the original situation simply delete sandbox. I think is a good idea.
