WPI error with MS FrontPage 2003


Recommended Posts

[sETUP: XPSP2]

I always get this error message whenever I install MS FrontPage 2003 with WPI:

"Could not open reboot configuration file: C:\rb_config.js"

after clicking "OK" another dialog box appears about runtime error in line 461 "do you wish to debug?" [YES] [NO]

MS FrontPage 2003 is properly installed anyway, but the series of error messages and dialog box is breaking up "unattended" install..

Please note that I do not have this sort of "reboot" problem in RunOnceEx and WIHU methods with the same sequence of installation. This error occurs in both 5.6 and 6 versions of WPI.

below is part of my config.js:

Are you rebooting during the WPI installation? The rb_config.js file should only be read after a reboot during the WPI process. If you are not, my guess is that your registry still contains reboot values for WPI.

Like I said in the first post, FrontPage is intalled successfully. it's just that the error message I mentioned appears. I had to click "OK" and "NO" (debug?) before WPI continues with the rest of the installations.

Check the value of this registry entry while WPI is not running: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WPI\ResumeInstall. It should be zero. I think your system believes it is resuming after a reboot for some reason. The only way you can receive this rb_config.js error is if you are resuming an install, otherwise it should create rb_config.js.

I always get this error message whenever I install MS FrontPage 2003 with WPI:

"Could not open reboot configuration file: C:\rb_config.js"

MS FrontPage 2003 is properly installed anyway, but the series of error messages and dialog box is breaking up "unattended" install..

Please note that I do not have this sort of "reboot" problem in RunOnceEx and WIHU methods with the same sequence of installation. This error occurs in both 5.6 and 6 versions of WPI.

I got the EXACT same error when installing a different app on a Vista OS. However, I cannot recall if I ran WPI with Admin previlages (it was autolaunched from a USB Key). I will be doing more testing to narrow down what the cause is.

WPI isn't resuming from a reboot when the message comes up. it's supposed to install all apps in my config.js in one go before rebooting. I don't have %reboot% instructions anywhere in my config.js. Even my application installs don't require a reboot as I can install all my applications in the same sequence using RunOnceEx without reboot.

Man you are really getting me stumped now. So you are NOT calling for a reboot and it is telling you errors about not opening reboot file. This is using v6 right? Please attach your whole config file, also did you modify any of the core files?

after clicking "OK" another dialog box appears about runtime error in line 461 "do you wish to debug?" [YES] [NO]

Can I get the full syntax in this popup too?

Yup, this is in both v5.6 and v6. I never touched/fiddled/changed the core files, not a single line in any file.

I attached my config.js and wpi_log.txt plus three screenshots after the first error message show in post #1. The first and second screenshots show the forms that will appear if I click [YES] in the "debug" dialog box show as third picture... (for some reasons, the screenshots won't show in order I attached)

RunOnceEx at the first GUI boot...

btw, thanks so much! your assistance is very much appreciated.

edit:

the error message appears a few seconds after FrontPage is successfully installed after WPI has moved on to next install. MS PowerShell is even installed successfully before the error message appears.

ok try this please (I hope your testing in VMWare :P ) lots of testing might be involved as I think it may be stemming from your copy of frontpage or windows.

re-run a new install and select only frontpage and run it.

The run another one and select several random appps BUT NOT frontpage and tell me if it comes up with either.

I have gone through all of the code and cannot find anything and run a coupla tests and have not come up against this error.

I can however tell you how to disable that errorbox from popping up if it shows to be something on your end.

I get this same error. What's really weird, is that the WPI setup works absolutely fine on other machines, but fails on one particular model of laptop. I have narrowed it down to a certain group of applications on my end, but it's pretty frustrating.

I came from a fully functional (since release) of 5.3 along with the "simple method of drivers on the cd" from here, and have imaged well over 200 notebooks this way. It's great because I only have one image to maintain now instead of one for each model (and for thinkpads there are many).

But I only get this error message with the new version of WPI on the new IBM T60s. I don't get the message on other models. But I never had problems with the 5.3 release. Unfortunately for me, we are imaging only T60s at this point so it looks as if I have to go back to what works, and for me it's 5.3. It was a nice thought.

My error message, by the way is the script error message, Line 235 Char 3 of Installer.hta, error is Object Required. If that helps.
