Hi - Is it possible to have more than three OS's to choose from?

Not sure if you still need help with doing more than 3, but I just made it work today.

You have to edit the file called validation.js and add in the additional OS Values.

Validation.js is located under \common\js

Starting at Line #256 - I expanded it to have 6 options, but you could go for as many as you want:

 sHTML = "<option value='OSValue1'>" + oEnvironment("OSName1") + "</option>\n";
  if(oEnvironment("OSName2"))
   {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue2'>" + oEnvironment("OSName2") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName3"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue3'>" + oEnvironment("OSName3") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName4"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue4'>" + oEnvironment("OSName4") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName5"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue5'>" + oEnvironment("OSName5") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName6"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue6'>" + oEnvironment("OSName6") + "</option>\n";
  }
 sHTML = "<select id='ImageDropDown' name='ImageDropDown'>\n" + sHTML + "</select>";
 sHTML = sHTML + "<div class='coupontooltip' style = 'border:1px solid black; padding: 10px;'>\n";
 sHTML = sHTML + oEnvironment("Tooltip1");
 sHTML = sHTML + "</div>\n";
 document.getElementsByName('tblNewDetails').item(0).innerHTML = sHTML;

 // process the refresh bits...

 sHTML = "<option value='OSValue1'>" + oEnvironment("OSName1") + "</option>\n";
 if(oEnvironment("OSName2"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue2'>" + oEnvironment("OSName2") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName3"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue3'>" + oEnvironment("OSName3") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName4"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue4'>" + oEnvironment("OSName4") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName5"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue5'>" + oEnvironment("OSName5") + "</option>\n";
  }
 if(oEnvironment("OSName6"))
  {sHTML = sHTML + "<option value='OSValue6'>" + oEnvironment("OSName6") + "</option>\n";
  }

I just tested it with OS #6 and it's working great.  Hope this helps.

This works really great thus far! 

We have only Win10 here at our site, however we run into instances where either a shared version for office is needed, to a standalone .msi for our warehouses.  The drop down menu and variable logic allowed me to have multiple "Install applications" steps re-using the same variables.  Works like a champ so far!

I do have one question: Can someone maybe direct me to where I can modify/expand the image selection drop down menu?

Hej Niall, this is my first post after many years following your great posts, so thank you for your great effort (Tack).

Is there any limits on how many variables (options) to show in HTA? I'm struggling to make HTA show 6 language options, but it only shows 4 and the 4 are working fine.

Please find some screenshots in the attached doc, as I said it only show the first 4 and not showing German and italian:

OSName1 swedish

OSName2 English

OSName3 Frensh

OSName4 Spanish

OSName5 German

OSName6 Italian

What I'm doing wrong?

 

Thank you in advance.

Update (Resolved):

 

I figured it out by myself, it was validation.js, thanks anyway
