I am attempting to modify %ProgramFiles% and %ProgramFiles(x86)% definitions as well as a few minor directories during setup. What I am not sure of is where or when to apply this so windows copies the least amount of files to the default locations. I plan on using registry entries like the following. If I have to, I will write a script that finds and replaces any registry entries already modified and use the results of the script to move those files to their new locations. Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Comments also!!

Appreciate your response! Turns out it was a problem with the config.js. But if that's the case it should have worked with an unmodified config file. I think I needed to clear the registry and fix the config. I didn't even know it made a registry entry... Thanks again. Thanks also to icnocop for convincing me to take another look at my config file. I think it was a dependency issue.

Along with not being able to configure WPI. It is also no longer working within windows setup. Error 1: Out of memory at line: 125 When WPI Opens Picture Error 2: Stack overflow at line: 112 Changing Defaults Picture Error 3: Script error on line 57 at char 2: dxhWins is null or not an object url: alerts.js Clicking Exit Picture Can anyone help? I have spent a lot of hours configuring this to find out it no longer works. As far as I know nothing was done in between it working and not. I took a break to watch a movie on netflix. Came back to find it not opening.

I'm not sure if WPI caused my problem or not. Maybe someone here will have some ideas for me? I successfully opened 8.1 maybe 20 times, added 44 programs to config. Now it will not stay open. I have tried a new source. If there is an error, it disappears faster than it can be seen. The same time it closes these are logged in event viewer: Failed extract of third-party root list from auto update cab at: <http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab> with error: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file. Failed auto update retrieval of third-party root list sequence number from: <http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootseq.txt> with error: This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
