Howard ? Just a reminder, this is alpha software, so go easy ... would love to get any and all feedback you may have ... nothing here is carved in stone, so have at it ...

Download KixBoxer here:

KixBoxer

Copy it to any directory, go there and type:

kixboxer -install

Then run the following script, it only runs a few seconds, but let it finish normally:

Break On

$LoginBox = CreateObject("Kixtart.LoginBox")

$LoginBox.Caption = "Installing Applications"
$LoginBox.MinButton = 0
$LoginBox.MaxButton = 0
$LoginBox.SysMenu = 0
$LoginBox.Width = 400
$LoginBox.Height = 150

$Message = $LoginBox.AddLabel(10,20,380,20,"")
$Message.FontSize = 10
$Message.FontBold = 1

$ProgressBar = $LoginBox.AddProgressBar(10,50,370,30,"")

$Status = $LoginBox.AddLabel(320,90,70,20,"")
$Status.FontBold = 1

$LoginBox.Center
$LoginBox.Show

$Installs =
"Installing Office,",
"Installing Office Service Pack 1...",
"Installing McAfee Anti-Virus...",
"Installing McAfee Service Pack ...",
"Installing Host Explorer ..."

$Count = UBound($Installs)

For $i = 1.0 To UBound($Installs)
 $Status.Text = "[$i or $Count]"
 $Message.Text = $Installs[$i]
 $ProgressBar.Value = (((0.0+$i)/$Count)*100)
 Sleep (2)
Next

$LoginBox = 0

Exit 1


KixBoxer is an ActiveX Server (.exe) not an DLL - if you pause the script (with a sleep), and even if you drag another window over the GUI, it will remain fresh and alive ... Kixforms and any other DLL GUI would fall over dead if you did that ...
