Hello,
i use the newest WPI Version an i get the following error:

In dem Skript auf dieser Seite ist ein Fehler aufgetreten

Zeile: 306
Zeichen: 3
Fehler: 'programs[].cat' ist Null oder kein Objekt
Code: 0
URL: file:///D:wpi/common/installer.hta

After i click "ja" WPI doesn't do something.....

Have anybody a solution?

Thanks
Dennis

I would guess one of your programs doesn't have a category assigned to it.

[SirHaschke]

All my Applications have a category (see the attachment).
The error comes at Panagon Filenet IDM 4.0.0.

Any idea?

Work's fine for me on my main computer with IE7 and on a VM with IE6.

I would erase the entry and add it again. And maybe the one before and after it.

[johnhc]

SirHaschke, please attach your log file. It is found at C:\. Thanks, John.

[SirHaschke]

OK.
Thats my log.

I think i found the error.

WPI installs "Panagon Filenet IDM 4.0.0".
After that, the Softwareinstall makes automatically an reboot.
Shortly before the restart WPI try to install "Panagon Filenet IDM 4.0.1 (Update)" and aborts.
How can i resolve that?
I must reach that "Panagon Filenet IDM 4.0.1 (Update)" cleanly installes after the restart.

Do you have a link to the offending software?

So I can try it?

[SirHaschke]

@Kelsenellenelvian

No,sorry.
If i zip it it have a size of 110 MB.
Do you have a FTP Server?
Than i can upload it........

[johnhc]

Kels, I did a Google on Panagon Filenet IDM 4.0.0 and found free DLs but you will need to register. I noticed in his log that there are no switches on his install. Perhaps he needs to run USSF and/or find a NoRestart switch somewhere. Enjoy, John.

@johnhc

I do an automatic install of Panagon Filenet 4.0.0 with AutoIt ;-)
But the installation of Filenet is simple.
The Software need a restart.

But is this possible

In theory, if a program did a reboot on it's own, WPI should be able to restart where it left off. The problem you may be having, which you didn't state when, is if the error you get in the original post comes after the reboot, then since WPI didn't initiate the reboot, it got "confused".

When do you get the error? When first run WPI, during the initial install, right after Panagon is done, or after the reboot?

If you can make the program not reboot after install, but add a {REBOOT} to Command 2, it may work.

Do download this file: core.rar

[SirHaschke]

OK.
The error comes after the reboot.

OK. It's no problem to do not make the program the reboot.
I add a reboot to command 2 and try it.

What is the core.rar for a file?

I'm back in office at 05.01.09 and then i try it and post the solution.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I am having this issue as well.

It happens in both WPI v7.2.0 and v7.2.1
Testing on windows xp 32-bit VM with IE6.

For example,

ProgramA has two commands in cmds[pn]. The first command installs the program and the second command is just {REBOOT}.

The program installs correctly and a reboot works fine, but when WPI re-launches after the reboot, I get that js error.

Line: 309
Char: 3
Error: 'programs[...].cat' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: file://D:/WPI/Common/Installer.hta

The last items in the WPI window in the background is
ProgramA
Command 1...Success
Command 2...Success

But my config.js has several programs after ProgramA.

Looking at the WPI log file, I notice it outputs the 2 commands for the next program, having succeeded (the first command installs the program, and the second command is just {REBOOT}).

So it seems this is failing on the 2nd {REBOOT} in sequence in config.js.

rb_config.js just indicates prb=0; after the two lines of comments.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

[mritter]

I can't replicate this error. Just curious: is there an apostrophe anywhere in the entry?

[mritter]

Better yet, put an alert in the first entry to pause it, copy the rb_config.js and send it to me.

{JSCRIPT}=alert("test pause")

[mritter]

Problem solved. Sent icnocop a beta to test it.

[SirHaschke]

Hello and a good new year.
I try it and make the program not reboot after install.
I add a {REBOOT} to Command 2.
But WPI doesn't make a reboot (see the jpg file).
In the attachment is also my config.js and the log file.

What can i do?

Worked for me...

[mritter]

@SirHaschke: Are you sure "C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe" exists? The code is fine.

[SirHaschke]

I found the error.
If i type "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" /r /f /t 0 3 i get the syntax window.
But if i type "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" /r /f /t 3 without the 0 it works.
Is there a bug?
