Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) Wizard Editor

Closed Issue: Preview: problem with displaying Cyrillic [10809]

mniehaus — Thu, 16 May 2013 09:13:17 GMT

When we write in the Cyrillic text, the page preview it appears is not true. But at the same time, at work wizard.hta text is displayed normally.
This is not a critical error, but it may confuse those who work with "MDT Boot Wizard" the first time.

Created Issue: Error appears on opening wizard definitions xml file [19521]

Server OS: Win2K8R2
Workstation OS: Win7 SP1
MDT Version: 6.1.2369.0

Error occurs both when run over RDP onto the MDT server connecting locally to the wizard definition file, and when run locally on the workstation, connecting to the xml file via UNC.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) Wizard Editor
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MTD) Wizard Editor is a simple .NET 2.0 application designed to assist with the process of editing the wizard XML manifest files used by the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. While it does not presently help much with the authoring of each wizard pane's content, it does simplify the more tedious parts of editing the XML manifest and the HTML embedded within each wizard pane.

Features available in the current release:

Editing. The Wizard Editor can open an wizard, add and remove panes, change and preview a pane's HTML, and change a pane's settings.
Testing. The Wizard Editor can execute a wizard, simulating the environment in which it would normally be used.

With version 2 of the wizard editor, the following enhancements have been added:

Adds the ability to modify task sequence variable values before running the wizard.
Shows the task sequence variables after the wizard completes.
Properly encloses XML definition file entries in CDATA tags so that special characters do not cause issues.
Works with MDT 2010. (This version has not been tested with MDT 2008, but should probably work with it too.)

Note that a new version is now available through a new CodePlex project. See http://mdtwizardstudio.codeplex.com/.

New Post: MDT 2012 beta and MDT Wizard Editor

tebear77 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:51:18 GMT

I have found when opening a the DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml from a MDT 2012 beta install that it crashed the Wizard Editor application.

Seems to be able to open other xml's in the Scripts directory and read them correctly, it only crashes on DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml.

Created Issue: Bug in FindFile Utility Method [15532]

ATMan777 — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:36:18 GMT

When the Variables form attempts to find ZTIGater.wsf, it first tries to find it in the Scripts folder below the DeploymentRoot folder. This fails because mdtDistributionDir does not include a trailing backslash. Hence ZTIGather is used from the install directory templates folder.

// First look in the deployment share directory, if one exists
if (mdtDistributionDir.Length != 0 && File.Exists(mdtDistributionDir + @"Scripts\" + fileName))
return mdtDistributionDir + @"Scripts\" + fileName;

Great tool though. It's been really helpful

New Post: Display wizard pane only for certain task sequences.

ubie — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 00:06:24 GMT

Could you not just use a Condition in your wizard:
Property("ISSERVER") = "True" so it will only run when your are on a server?
Or would that not do it for you?

I am using LiteTouch (MDT 2010u1)

I have copied the Roles and Features panes posted on http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2010/09/01/mdt-deployment-wizard-panes-for-installing-os-roles-and-features.aspx

I would like to only show the roles and features panes when a server task sequence is selected. What is the formatted of the conditional statement I need to set for them?

Created Release: Version 2.1.0 (Oct 27, 2009)

mniehaus — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:56:27 GMT

This release contains miscellaneous changes:

Added support for copying and pasting panes with new context menu items. When copying, the pane definition is placed on the clipboard. When pasting, a new pane will be added after the currently-selected pane. (You can also paste text from the clipboard as long as it looks like a valid pane, e.g. starts with "<Pane" and ends with "</Pane" and is valid XML.)
Fixed the behavior of text editing windows to allow tabs and returns.
Added an icon and cleaned up other UI behaviors.

New Post: Adding the NIC Settings Dialog

disaacks — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:30:52 GMT

Can anyone assist me with adding the NIC Settings dialog after the Computername Dialog?

In the DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml I have added:

Initialization: ZTINicUtility.vbs

Then I created a new Pane called NetworkSettings and Added the following:
