Puky70,
Sorry, most of us can't read German. Can you translate it for us. Also, when I clicked on the image, I was taken to ImageShack but not your image. I was going to send it to a friend to translate but can't.
Give us some help and we may be able to help you.
Enjoy, John.

You're using Vista huh? We have seen this odd bug to and I might have a solution. Let me do some more testing and I'll get back to you. For now just leave the disk in until wpi starts properly...

Yes, leave the disk in or simply click "cancel" (the button on the left) four (4) times and then WPI will start properly.

Kel, Mark, I was able to tear down, troubleshoot, and set up dozens of machines this weekend thanks to MSFN and WPI. The least of my concerns was the actual install routine, which went like clockwork. Thanks again fellas. thumbup.gif

Hi John,

the error message is about mshta.exe and told me there is no CD in the drive. But it is still in it.
I am using WindowsXP at the moment.

@ Puky please try it with this core.js and tell me what your result is...

@ Kelsenellenelvian,

first thx for support. But I have still the same issue.
You file did'nt solve it. Do you have another solution or tip?

Kindly Regards

I may have a solution from the person who posted about using WMI for the cd/dvd check. I will post if works or not later.

I thought this was just a Vista problem, but may be an XP x64 issue also. Dunno for sure.

@ mritter,

what about your findings? Is there a solution for us?

Kindly Regards

I haven't tried the new code yet, still getting back in to the swing of things after vacation. And it's my birthday so not doing any work. ;-)
mritter
I put the new code in and it seems to work. I didn't get the pop up window. Will send it out to beta testers.

Hi Kel & mr.ritter

I'm getting the same, in english,
just downloaded 7.1.1 and ran it from my C drive, no modification whatsoever
System is Win XP Pro x86

see attached image

error: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive"

Kelsenellenelvian
We are testing a fix for that right now...
mritter
This issue has been resolved. I may make a 7.1.2 release if it is needed bad enough.
