Hi,
some status report on what i've done last week.
- wrote some analysis of the jobs Ani.pm does in order to understand
what's going wrong, i can put that readme online if anybody is
interested
- after the interrupted transfers from the smb share i switched from
cp to tar (in Ani.pm) for copying the files over. I receive no errors from
copying anymore. Tradeoff: no update available anymore because tar
simply doesn't care about that, my suggestion would be to use rsync
or another cp version, but i still have to find out if that changes
something (the userland is taken from SuSE, 7.1, right?)
- the linux part of the installation finishes just fine
- the winnt.exe installer starts in unattended mode and installs the
OS just fine
- after some trouble with postwin.pl (coworker accidentially copied
perl-5.8.6 to ActiveP.msi instead of 5.6.1), postwin.pl now executes
- postwin.pl bails out with this error message:
register script [cleanup.bat] to delete install folders:cannot open registry: at line 310.
register script [cleanup.bat] to delete install folders:cannot open registry: at line 310.
SIG_HANDLER: failed to register startup script.
sub regStartup() failed. at C:\install\pwframe.pl line 137.
window text:
>> sub regStartup() failed. at C:\install\pwframe.pl line 137.
Haven't yet looked at the postwin part, maybe somebody encountered
that error before and can tell me what i can do to avoid that one.
cheers, alex

If that is true, then all the errors/problems i have encountered yet could be because i'm using the wrong version. I will interview my coworker tomorrow. I took the stuff over from a directory called ani-1.1.1, so i supposed i'm using the version which is tagged V1_1_1 in CVS. But otoh then i'd have version 1.4 of postwin.pl installed. Will send a report tomorrow, if this is true, i will stand in the corner for a while... cheers, alex -- alexander goller al...@vi... |

Ok, did a fresh 1.1.1 installation and nothing changed. Can somebody tell me if the 1.1.1 version is 1.4 from CVS? Should i try 1.4 from CVS over the one in ani-1.1.1.tar.gz? > Will send a report tomorrow, if this is true, i will stand in the > corner for a while... Glad i don't have to stand there ;) cheers, alex -- alexander goller al...@vi... |

Hm, i see you have changed postwin.pl to Create() a registry key instead of doing Open(). I think pwframe.pl needs to do the same, my error message is coming from line 307 of pwframe.pl which does an Open() call on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE too. Will attach postwin.pl and pwframe.pl in a private mail. cheers, alex -- alexander goller al...@vi... |

I'm interested in the description of Ani.pm, too. If it's on german or
english, I will put it online for others. OK?

What, perl-5.8.6 of Activestate doesn't work, but 5.6.1 does?? Argl. Did
you have any output/logs when perl 5.8.6 failed?

Argl. Did > you have any output/logs when perl 5.8.6 failed? Yes, it doesn't contain Win32::GUI anymore. At least it couldn't find the module in the 5.8.6 msi. I couldn't find it in the ANI files. So i guess it must have been part of AS perl. cheers, alex -- alexander goller al...@vi... |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, some words to 'why AS perl 5.8.1 can't be used' for ANI: There are some modules which will be included by means of cmdlines.txt. Some of the modules aren't compatibel with 5.8.6. And there are some issues with the ppm. It's mentioned on http://ani.sourceforge.net/installation.php?lang=en, that 5.6.1 should be used. May be it's worth to add a hint, that 5.8.1 currently doesn't work... _ Hagen |>> |>> - after some trouble with postwin.pl (coworker accidentially |>> copied perl-5.8.6 to ActiveP.msi instead of 5.6.1), postwin.pl |>> now executes |> |> What, perl-5.8.6 of Activestate doesn't work, but 5.6.1 does?? |> Argl.
