Adding profiles automatically to VVEngine

Mors · Joined: 27 Aug 2009 Posts: 1

I'm currently looking for a way to add profiles to VVEngine automatically. I've tried to alter the VVEngine.xml with the profile settings in the XML but it keeps overwriting it with the previous version. I've even tried creating a custom.XML and loading it however it doesn't seem to put the profile in VVEngine according to the Console.

Is this possible at all?. I'm primarily trying to roll out an unattended install to remote users and I want to make it completely automatic but I just can't seem to figure out how to load the profile into the Engine

Thanks in advance Smile

Hello Mors,

You can edit the XML file while VVEngine is not running or re-load it using the command 127.0.0.1:8001/status.htm?LOAD=ALL in VVEngine while it's running... you should also be able to use the LOAD command in the console, did you try that already?
It's currently not possible to add a profile via the console, the XML needs to be edited, that's something we'd like to add,

thanks

If the XML file gets empty then there was a problem with the XML file itself. See the file VVEngine.log

Did you save the XML file as UNICODE?
Was the XML properly formatted?

For instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<SETTINGS>
<ITEM>
<PROFILE>C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\ViceVersa PRO 2\profile2.fsf</PROFILE>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
<PROFILE>C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\ViceVersa PRO 2\profile3.fsf</PROFILE>
</ITEM>
</SETTINGS>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> is required.

thanks
