hi there

i'm using wihu during an unattended setup within cmdlines.
i was running wihu version 2.1.18.0 without any problems.

i updated my version to the current 2.1.24.1 (just replaced the binary)
and now installation of our LANDesk Agent quits with a
Fatal Exception. has anything changed with the way the
processes are called ?

regards
remo

btw: great tool!

No only process specific environment block was added, i.e. not the current environment will be used.
What are the error codes?

thanks for the environment tip. found the error:

it seems to me that the new code does not work correctly as
LocalSystem at T-12 stage while unattended setup runs.
it works ok, as soon as the system is up and running.

here is a partial output of a "set" with the newest wihu version:

Local AppData=\Local Settings\Application Data
Local Settings=\Local Settings
Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
Personal=\My Documents
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files
Programs=\Start Menu\Programs
Recent=\Recent
SendTo=\SendTo
SRCDRIVE=C:
SystemDrive=C:
SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS
TEMP=\Local Settings\Temp
Templates=\Templates
ThisUser=SYSTEM
TMP=\Local Settings\Temp

output with old wihu version:

Local AppData=%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data
Local Settings=%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings
Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
Personal=%USERPROFILE%\My Documents
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files
Programs=%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs
Recent=%USERPROFILE%\Recent
SendTo=%USERPROFILE%\SendTo
SRCDRIVE=C:
SystemDrive=C:
SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS
Templates=%USERPROFILE%\Templates
ThisUser=
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\Default User

normally TEMP + TMP are not yet set at T-12
(which seems not important to the program i run)
but if they are defined it parses them and crashes
because there is no drive letter.

i try to override the problem with an [Environment]
section in wihu.ini with an entry of TEMP=C:\Temp and TMP=C:\Temp

do you have an idea why the drive letter is missing?

Thank you Remo, I think I found the bug. Please download the fixed version and try it again. It should work now also on T-12.
