Hi, I download the WPI 5.4, and don't load the translations, I try to change to spanish, german, italian and nothing.

I enter to Options>Language and check the Use Translations, Save.

Try to save to useroptions1 and nothing, in 5.3 works fine.

Help please!

Thank you smile.gif

Looking into it right now...

Hmm, I can confirm that bug with the languages. Alle entries get written into useroptions.js, but WPI only loads english interface. sad.gif
With the WPI 5.4 Beta version that mritter sent some people, this still was OK.

This post is written in german because it is a language specified bug:

@Dynaletik: Ich gehe mal davon aus, daß du immer an den Sprachdateien für Deutsch bastelst. Und mir ist aufgefallen, daß du immer "Standart" schreibst. Aber richtig wird das Wort "Standard" geschrieben. Wäre nett, wenn du das ausbügeln würdest. Danke im Voraus.
Dynaletik
@ McStarfighter: Ok, ich habe das geändert. (Übersetzung im Translationsthread. Danke für den Hinweis. Wenn noch etwas ist, dann meld Dich einfach. smile.gif

@ Kel: Thank you for the language fix. Did you integrate that WPI.hta into the WPI_5.4 archive?

is not. i set romanian, italian, chinese traditional ... only english.
i like english, but this is a WPI 5.4 bug, not a language bug.

Check the main forum. It has a sticky with the fix for this problem.

For the languages, just pick the language from the drop-down box. That item you are selecting is Use Transitions not Use Translations. Ue Transitions is for the Tool Tips.

Found another bug!

If I try to set my resolution in version 5.4 I get an error when starting WPI.

Somthing like "cannot find "Tools\ResChange.exe"".

ResChange is definatly there so is there a piece of code I can change to get this to work again.

I have wpi.ico in the same dir as wpi.hta to set the %wpipath% variable and the full path to the dir containing wpi has no spaces in it. Hope it helps.

Thanks
sadicq
OK. I thought i should let you guys know: the reschange, font installer and language bugs are coming from the same problem: not updating wpipath in wpi.hta.
So, to fix all these bugs, do a global search and replace in the wpi.hta for
CODE
wpipath+"
with
CODE
wpipath+"\\
unless you already downloaded the fixed wpi.hta from the sticky thread.
If you did that, start over with the wpi.hta from the main archive (I hope Kel didn't update it yet).

@sadicq ... Thanks
but may I know the differ between two codes?
just for my own information
sadicq
The updated one has
CODE
if (!FileExists(wpipath+"\\Lang\\lang_"+Language+".js"))
while the other one has only
CODE
if (!FileExists(wpipath+"Lang\\lang_"+Language+".js"))
MGadAllah
so the extra \\ cause path error?
sadicq
Yes, because in previous versions wpiapth was containing the backslash itslef and in 5.4 we decided that it would be nicer to have it without the backslash.
mritter
That wpipath bug was all my fault. When I took out the self-added +"\\"; to wpipath, I didnt't update the code in the scripts to reflect that chage. I sent Kels an updated copy to replace the archive here on the site. Download and use that one instead of the "patch" that was posted on the forum.

Thanks alot, updating now.

WPI RESUME !!!

ok it works.. after restart wpi resumes ..but explorer/desktop loads up.. i dont think that should happens..


any way of preventing that from happening
lawrenca
Bug??
If a condition has failed (no checkbox generated), the category checkbox headers will check the other apps under that category but will no uncheck them.
mritter
@lawrenca: That has been an issue for a while now. Some people wanted to have the category un-check all items below when un-check the category, some don't. Then you run into issues with Forced and such. I have it in my notes, I will settle on one some time soon.

After redo my wpi from 5.3 to 5.4 the reg files wont work anymore







Normaly it looked like this

CODE
%CDROM%\WPI\Install\DynAdvance\dynadvance.reg




with 5.4 :

CODE
"%CDROM%\WPI\Install\DynAdvance\dynadvance.reg"




do i need to remove the "" with reg files?
mykz
catch a bug line 104 of global.js
CODE
var sysdir = WshEnv("WINDIR");

must be
CODE
var sysdir = WshEnv("WINDIR") + "\\system32";

or something else... i don't know, ask mritter ;-)

At this point, there is not a work around for that. I am looking for ways around loading the desktop and automatically logging on, but I have not found a solution yet. For now it will just have to be the way it is, at least you can resume.
mritter
@Zorphnog: I updated the code to use RunOnceEx so it starts before the desktop is brought up. But it does not start before the user logon screen. I talked 'acomputerwiz' about this and we found a way to make it work with an autolog on BUT neither one of us really likes it at this point. Too much can go wrong. If WPI or an installer crashes it could possibly not clear the auto logon next reboot. This is fine for most home users who normally use the Admin account. but in a work environment it would not bo good. It is easy enough to remove for an IT guy, but, for now it is on hold.

I sent Avneet and Kels a copy to test but they have not replied back yet..............
zorphnog
@mritter: Can you email it to me, I'd like to take a look at it. I also use WPI in an IT environment, so I'd like to find a way to get this to work without having a security vulnerability.

Sure you know that it is %wpipath% not %CDROM%
tcarman
The only issue I have encountered is with the reboot function. The problem is more of a Windows issue than a WPI issue, but I find if I reboot before the initial logon profile has been completed then the quicklaunch bar fails to be created properly.

I have my WPI reboot 60 seconds after it finishes to allow the profile to be created, but obviously this will not work if you require a reboot in the middle of your installations.
