Ah yea you need to download comctl32.ocx from somewhere, when the program is complete, the install will also check if required files are installed

try downloading:  http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/images/lib/COMCTL32.OCX

Copy it to system32 folder and then do regsvr32 \windows\system32\COMCTL32.OCX

Nice, but a few suggestions:
- Set version to 1.0 be drfault (just 1 looks dodgy IMO).
- Make the Add Files and Add Subfolder start browsing in C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts by default (detect which folder MP!L was installed on).
- Make a remove button in the Add Files dialog, i saw the reghclick menu, but I think many users will miss that one.
- BUG: In the Add Files dialog, add a folder, then remove it, then add the same folder again and i get an error "RunTime error 35602: Key is not unique in collection".

Nice program!
Btw, when do you think script studio will be released?
I'm asking because i'm looking forward to the window designer...


Offtopic: How did you do the multifile select common dialog?
I wanted to do that once, I found a flag that converted it to multifile, but all i was getting was an ugly old-style dialog control...

Will do, after it has been brosed for once, it should default back to the same folder, but to start with I will default to the Scripts folder.

Yea mine did that at first, can't rememeber how I got around it, think I had to add another flag to force it to use the new style, I'll check later.

Simple suggestions:

- Ability to set a comment for the zip itself (instead of the "created by"... well this could still be added at the end I suppose)
- Check if added XML files are in unicode, if not convert them automatically (after showing a notice and confirmation from the user)
- show a simulation/example of how the script import dialog will look like when the script gets installed. And of course the ability to go back and tweak your settings.

Advanced suggestions:

- it's now a standalone tool, but it might be very handy if it is a script itself (no need for starting another tool when the user is already scripting in Plus!)
- add a right click context menu for folders in windows explorer => extreeeeeeemly handy. No need for manually starting up this tool, selecting the script folder, etc...
- add a right click context menu item for plsc files to edit the scriptinfo.xml inside the script pack

It depends on what DLL (API) you use. There are two different ones (and then there are also ActiveX objects, but that shows yet another kind of open/save file dialog). if you use the 'modern' one, you indeed only need to set a multiselect flag.

Yup I could make that another option.

Good idea   I'll work on that.

Could make more sense yea, but I'm not too great with JS so I'll leave that to someone else.  It's standalone atm, but the plan is that it will be part of 1 app, Script Studio.

Good idea yea, could definatly make that an option in the installer.

Do you mean editing it as in opening it with Script Packager with teh fields pre-filled and regisered files checked?  Or just text editing the file?  Either way, great suggesstion

both ways?

This might also be a suggestion as-is. A button where the scriptinfo xml is loaded in notepad so people can make some changes manually, and after closing the notepad and saving it (and thus the tool detecting a change was made by comparing the saved file with the original one), the tool updates its fields. =< this is the same way what winzip does when you open and edit a file inside a zip... very handy.

Script Packager 1.1 Released, few small changes, see first post.

my packager, very easy to use, drag and drop the folder ontop of .bat

package.bat

code:

---

c:\progra~1\winzip\winzip32 -a -r -en %1.zip %1
move %1.zip %1.plsc
%1.plsc

Two things:
1) To use this, the user needs to have WinZip installed into the location "C:\Program Files\Winzip"
2) This won't create Scriptinfo.xml. You need to create it yourself. If you don't then (I guess that) the script package won't be recognized as a valid script package.
