Dear,

Based on the input from Kent Dyer & Les Ligetfa we
have extend the iexpress packages a little bit.
New is:

implementation of "terminal service" model.
we are using drive based on "systemroot" registry setting. it solves
problems with unavailable C-drive.
for the temporary files it will use as prefix %tmp% environment
variable.
status of file association .scr untouch by another association.
additional information will be written to debugging file. So you can
see what the actual registry settings for .K2K, .KIX, .SCR and .UDF are.

script returns now also a errorlevel- 0 = a complete installation done
- 1 = a incomplete installation done
this value can use in your BATch file.
f.e.

code:

@echo off
 %0\..\kix410update.exe /q
 if errorlevel 1 goto server
 if errorlevel 0 goto client
 goto server
:server
 %0\..\kix32.exe  %0\..\your_script.kix
 goto end
:client
 kix32 %0\..\your_script.kix
:end
@echo off

in the NTx environment it isn't necessary to install the kx16.dll,
kx32.dll and kx95.dll.
we make it possible such installation, but for backward compatibility
we introduce the additional environment variable kix-only-required.
its value isn't important.
the control file shows the result of such installation.

Current environment variables to control packages are

kix-debug
kix-only-required
kix-show

Examples:

a standard installation

code:

greetings.

Dear,

We upgrade all our packages. The console-less version doesn't require KIX32.EXE for
the installation process.
We must only change our installation scripts for WKIX32.EXE installation. Previous-
ly we show a MessageBox for developpers, but with the specification like

wkix32.exe /I winstall.kix

the installation process will hang. Reason: a hidden MessageBox shows up, but you
doesn't have the capability to enter something.

The new main scripts for the WKIX32 installations are
winstall.kix
