Hi.
WPI v6.5.1 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition with SP2 integrated produces "Invalid syntax" error in wpi.hta on line 103 char 5. (See attachment)
I am using RunOnceEx.cmd to run wpi in this manner:
%DVD%\WPI\WPI.hta timer=0
line 103: timerSecs = WPIcmdArgs[15];
However, if I run wpi.hta after manually finishing installing windows xp professional x64, I do not get this error.
Any ideas \ work-arounds?
This seems like an issue with Internet Explorer, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Thank you.
Ok, it seems that the line number was misleading (as usual in javascript)
The script error actually occurs in core.js line 102:
var OSProps = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem");
I will try to troubleshoot this issue further, since maybe wmi is disabled on this machine or something.

That call has been on place for over 18 months, so I really don't think it is a problem with WPI, something you have done with your Windows DVD.
Open a command prompt window and launch it from there to see if you get the same error. Works fine for me.

Read some where else about WMI not being started yet. Try this updated code in core.js
The try/catch may prevent the error message, and default to "ENU" and "English - United States" for the language/locale.
CODE
// %OSLANG%
var Enum, DtoH;
CreateLocalArray();
try
{
OSProps = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem");
winMgts = new Enumerator(OSProps).item();
// OSLanguage = 1033, 1036, ....
// Language ID in Dec
try
{
Enum = winMgts.OSLanguage;
}
catch(ex2)
{
Enum=1033;
}
DtoH = DecToHex(Enum);
while (DtoH.length<4)
DtoH = "0" + DtoH+"";
for (var x=0; x<arrOSLang.length; x++)
{
if (arrOSLang[x].LCID == DtoH)
{
oslang=arrOSLang[x].TLA;
oslocale=arrOSLang[x].Locale;
break;
}
}
}
catch(ex)
{
oslang="ENU";
oslocale="English - United States";
}
var Enum, DtoH;
CreateLocalArray();
try
{
OSProps = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem");
winMgts = new Enumerator(OSProps).item();
// OSLanguage = 1033, 1036, ....
// Language ID in Dec
try
{
Enum = winMgts.OSLanguage;
}
catch(ex2)
{
Enum=1033;
}
DtoH = DecToHex(Enum);
while (DtoH.length<4)
DtoH = "0" + DtoH+"";
for (var x=0; x<arrOSLang.length; x++)
{
if (arrOSLang[x].LCID == DtoH)
{
oslang=arrOSLang[x].TLA;
oslocale=arrOSLang[x].Locale;
break;
}
}
}
catch(ex)
{
oslang="ENU";
oslocale="English - United States";
}
The try/catch may prevent the error message, and default to "ENU" and "English - United States" for the language/locale.
Ok, I've finally found a fix.
The root problem was that the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) service was missing and so I had to add these lines to RunOnceEx.cmd before launching wpi.hta:
REM Register WMI
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
scrcons.exe /RegServer
unsecapp.exe /RegServer
winmgmt.exe /Regserver
wmiadap.exe /RegServer
wmiapsrv.exe /RegServer
wmiprvse.exe /RegServer
Thank you mritter for the info in your replies.

It seems there is a problem when (manually) adding the following two lines to the [Components] section of AMD64\winnt.sif (after nlite):
iis_smtp=On
iis_smtp_docs=On
The result is the "Invalid syntax" error in wpi.hta and the WMI service is missing.
I will start another thread in the nlite forum...
