StatusInfo( ActiveProcess(), info )

Which error do you get? Which version of MortScript do you have? Which device/ROM combination did you try it on?

Try replacing the first resp. the second argument by arbitrary strings and see if that helps you out; you could also try to comment the line out, as it does not interfere with the actual processing.

Does this install the cab files first, so that files can be copied to their respective programs after?

Use any regular text editor to review the scripts and you should know the aswer is yes (for both plenTpak's AutoInstall4 and mousio's AutoRun - you did not specify which); actually the order can be changed quite easily should you wish to do so...

SOLVED

Error-msg:
Unknown command 'statusinfo'

The reason was, that i first used Autoinstall4, who installed mortscript 4.1 (that doesnt have the status-window feature, that beta 4.11 has). I thoughed that i had removed 4.1 - however, it couldnt be uninstalled !!! - So your script couldnt install 4.11

Oh and: DONT put an mortscript.CAB in your AutoRun folder

By the way, i had a REG-files, that the script couldnt read. That means, that the script doesnt get to write the autorun.xml at all (for all the good reg-files). I solved by converting the REG to a XML-file.

(THANKS for a splendid script !!!!)

My main purpose is for this to be used in combination with UC: after a hard reset, let it automatically reconfigure your device to your needs.
So now, every couple of months I put the latest updates of ROM and cabs on my card, and then – thanks to UC and the script – the update process then takes less than 20 minutes and my device is totally reconfigured again, just the way I want it and no user input required (except hard reset between ROM flash and UC)...

The script does not check if it is run manually or automatically, nor does it check the mortscript version it runs with, nor does it actively try to avoid double installation of mortscript, but feel free to post your own code as these are indeed interesting features. Another feature could be to automatically detect the name of the storage card root folder in order to support different languages...

Perhaps it is an encoding issue?
I had briefly tested the registry import and now that you mention this, I believe the reg file should not be unicode for the script to be able to parse it correctly.
Could you please test again?

I will have to find that again, as I found out that almost everything on my card has to be reinstalled after each hard reset or rom change. I was hoping that all I needed was the shortcuts.

Anyone ever find a way to do this? I tried that WinCE cab manager program (the 30 day trial version) and I have no idea what I need to do to change the install directory so that things will install to the storage card.

I tried to edit the properties of one of the cabs I'm using, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to put as the install path. I tried Storage Card, and when I ran the cab on my touch it still asked me where I wanted to install it, on the device, or the card.
