tell me, how can i help myself if i have no knowledge in Wizard Post Install app?!

how can i possibly find the answer if i tried over and over again to find the problem in the codes and didn't find a clue?!

instead saying the same thing on every massage i post, try to think - maybe i tried solve the prboelm my self but i didn't succeeded?! have you ever thought about that??

so maybe instead of saying the same thing againg and again try to think that i'm not just newb that keep asking questions without trying even a bit to solve them himself!!

i guess u think i'm just stupid newb that says "hi , why do i need to try solving my own problems when the suckers on MSFN can solve them for me?!"

well its really really not like this!!

everytime b4 i post a massage here i try to figure the prboelm alone and solve it alone with no posting, after this i'm searching the forum [only in my first dayd in here i didn't] , and when i can't find my answer ,only then i'm posting here.

about the bumping - when my massage pass of to the 3rd or 4th page how can i expect anyone to see it?! don't u get it??

so please stop thinking i'm little stupid boy that just trying to make MSFN users life hard!!

Obviously, either you did not read the linked-to article, or worse, you did not understand it ...

adiel...just to help you out...you might wanna just say..."Ok, thank you, I will look further into the problem before posting again" just to appease some people. LOL GM im messing with ya...Adiel, seriously, please dont post so much...use the attach command. Also...Im not sure if other people are making this mistake but your name looks a lot like Aland who has been posting a lot too...so therefore, with both of you posting questions, it looks like one person is posting a crap load of questions...I have known many people who will take an attachment and look at it when they have time, but having to keep coming back to the board to read something posted, that may not even be posted correctly, youre asking for a lot of any user, no matter how big their heart....just thought Id help you out, and hopefully any other person who reads this.

Hi,

I tried your software, it's very good. I open the source code to translate into French where I see you visibly don't know the loop 'for' to generate the checkbox.

Here is my code for the bx1024.html :
[....]
for (i = 1; i < 31; i++) {

	if (prog[i] != null) {
  document.write('<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox' + i + '" id="chkbox' + i + '" /><label for="chkbox'+ i +'" />' + prog[i] + '</label><br />');
  }
	else document.write('<input type="hidden" name="chkbox' + i + '" id="chkbox' + i + '" />');

	if ( i%10 == 0) {
  document.write ('</td><td class="txt" valign="top">');
	}
}
[....]


It's better than the 200 lines, isn't it :D

Hi,

I have a question concerning Begin Install. When I click the button, a window pops up saying Thx for using WIP etc. That's alright, but after clicking OK and continuing I get an error message, which says
Runtime Error
Line 3
Object could not be created


Line 3 is the same as u guys use it - I just copied and pasted it:
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");


The whole top stuff is this:
function CreateFile()
{
   var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
   var WshEnv = WshShell.Environment("PROCESS")
   var CDROM = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\SourcePath");
   var KeyBase = "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx";
[....]


Thus....what am I doing wrong :unsure:

Thx for our help!!

1) Is there a way to test out my WPI without reinstalling windows?

2) also, in WPI2.0b, how do I arrange the cmd's - i'm confused about the single quote marks.

for example, Adobe Reader6's cmd line is:
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\adobereader6\reader6.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\"""

so, in WPI2.0b, how do I write this command?

prog[1]=['Adobe Reader 6.0']
desc[1]=['View and print Adobe PDF files with this free software.']
cmd1[1]=['systemdrive','???????']
cmd2[1]=['','']
cmd3[1]=['','']
dflt[1]=['yes']

3) when it says drive = 'systemdrive' or 'cdrom' or '', what does '' mean? if i do that, i have to write the full path (like %systemdrive%\install\Applications\adobereader6\reader6.exe ??)

It would be more prudent as the people who use WPI, only post in THAT thread, to post problems in that thread.

Sorry about that...

Anyways, I found and fixed the problem!!

I commented out line by line until it worked, and there were 2 problems:

Both were a problem of having an apostraphe in the Program name/description.

Fixed Lines:

prog[3]=['BitTorrent (Shad0w\'s Client v5.8.7)']

desc[8]=['Kazaa Lite is the world\'s most popular file sharing application without any spyware.']


Chaning the ' to a \' fixed the problem for me. :)





EDIT:

While messing with the javascript I discovered 2 things, which may or may not be or interest to you guys:

1) No matter what order the code is in, the entries are lined up in order of the numbers in brackets. You can also skip numbers.

ex: 
prog[18]=['Remove \'extra\' Screensavers']
desc[18]=['Removes screensavers that are often unused.']
cmd1[18]=['systemdrive','install\\wpi\\cmds\\remscrs.cmd']
cmd2[18]=['','']
cmd3[18]=['','']
dflt[18]=['no']

prog[15]=['Add Registry Tweaks']
desc[15]=['Installs additional system changes and enhancments.']
cmd1[15]=['','REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\\install\\RegTweaks.reg']
cmd2[15]=['','']
cmd3[15]=['','']
dflt[15]=['no']

Will still appear as:

Add Registry Tweaks
Remove 'extra' Screensavers


2) There is a maximum of 18 entries. I don't know why, but anything above 18 won't be recognized.

Ok, I have a new question: Where do i put my cleanup files?

In my winnt.sif, i have:

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b\wpi.cmd


In my wpi.cmd, i have:
@echo off
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b\WPI.HTA


I want to know where to put my cleanup commands:
CLS
@echo off
TITLE Windows XP SP2 - Cleanup

ECHO.

shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files...
RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers
RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install

EXIT


Can I run two programs in GuiRunOnce like:
[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\install\WPI20b\wpi.cmd
    %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd

And then cleanup.cmd will ONLY run once wpi.cmd is totally done (after ALL my programs install)??

Or do I need to do something else?

Thank You.

Hi people!
I am having a big problem when I run my WPI but this only happened when I rebooted my computer. Prior to this the checkboxes were coming up still. I am unsure if it is related to my reboot or not. Anyway when I run the WPI, it stays stuck on the screen that says "Please wait while Windows Post-Installer configures itself to your PC...." It just stays on that screen and will not load up the checkboxes with my associated program titles. I have invested a lot of time going over the code (hours on end). I made it so it loads up 30 boxes on the screen ( I used the bx.rar file in the forum and changed oen of them to say boxes.html to make it work for me). I hope someone can help me out ! I would appreciate it GREATLY!


THANKS A LOT!!!!
