DUAScriptGen - feature requests and bug reports?
I got the opportunity to present a few slides about Device Update Agent (DUA) for some training my team presented yesterday, and during that presentation I gave a demo of DUAScriptGen, and several people who hadn't seen it before were interested in trying it out. I wanted to consolidate links from some of Mike Hall's old blog posts and some of my old blog posts in one location for your convenience:
- You can get DUAScriptGen at https://www.winisp.net/scrat/DUAScriptGen/DUAScriptGen.zip
- There is a User's Guide in the ZIP file describing what it can do and how to use it, but some highlights can be found at https://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/05/18/134289.aspx and bug fixes in the latest release are listed at https://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/07/07/175829.aspx
I also wanted to request any bug reports or feature suggestions you might have for a future release of the tool. Here is a list of what I have heard so far that I've got on my list to implement/investigate:
- Bug in how the execute command syntax is being generated - https://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2004/05/18/134251.aspx#188652
- Ability to parse and convert INF files for updates in addition to the Additional Notes that are packaged with Embedded database updates
- Ability to specify ErrorMode values in the DUAScriptGen UI
- Bug when importing .reg files that have DWORD values that are greater than 10 - DUAScriptGen needs to convert them from hex to decimal
If you have any additional items that I haven't listed above, please post a comment on this thread or send me a direct email at aaronste (at) microsoft (dot) com and I will add it to the list. Stay tuned for updates soon....
