Windows Installer Helper Utility

@booster: I'll try to find your problem. Also note, running WIHU under Windows 2000 is not fully possible because of this privilege restriction. Please send me your logfile and may be ini file.

Benjamin

Actually I am using Windows XP Pro SP1

Will try the new release.

I have some ideas I want to test out, so I will come back later with my findings :)

I send you log and ini's.

However the user I specified in WIHU GUI is created fine. (users.ini is empty)

And if I use "SkipSettings" then the programs is installed fine.

Is it correct that I can run it at the T-13 mark ?

I have read that at that point the only user that exist is the "Default User".

So all programs is installed in the "Default User" which is fine, because when a new user then logs on he/she get's all the settings from the "Default User"

But maybe there'a a problem when creating new users.. However the user is created fine.

It seems that you are using Windows 2000 isn't it?

This will not work properly with Windows 2000 mainly not logging on at this new user.

Second: command.0.0 = xcopy Tc603\wincmd.ini "%systemdrive%\Program Files\totalcmd\wincmd.ini" should also contain an corresponding description.0. key ... despite the fact that this command is hidden.

Third: May be you could specify full path to xcopy executable like %systemroot%\system32\xcopy.exe ...

Please try to call WIHU the same way (as in unattended installation) in Windows, especially creating users and install software as this user.

I've never tested it.

This default user will not be created if /SkipSettings or /UseCurrent is specified.

Maybe it looks like I am using Windows 2000 but I am not.

I am using Windows XP UK with SP1.

If I run WIHU at the T-13 mark using "WIHU.EXE /SkipSettings" all programs is installed fine.

This only happens when trying to create new user.

I have attached a screen dump of the error. You'll see that it is Windows XP.

And despite the errors about creating user, the user is created and the user is the one that auto logs in.

@booster: Does this error only occur at T-13?

Please use this WIHU release and try it again (sorry). Please specify /verbose switch. I added some more verbose.

This is run at T-13, will try next to run at RunOnceEx.cmd

But If I run it at clean install logged in as "Administrator" everything is fine.

Report back later when run from RunOnceEx.cmd.

Are you in a domain, if yes at T-13 there are no network stacks loaded i think, have to look this up. so therefore you could recieve this errors about "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted..."

This is run from RunOnceEx.cmd and all is fine..

No domain and no roaming profile.

Guess it's not supported at that stage..

Well. I just run it from the RunOnceEx.cmd, so no more worries Benjamin :)

Thanks though :rolleyes:

PS: I found this about CMDLINES.TXT

Now I got a different problem

Using this

[Tools]
description.0 = Total Commander 6.03
command.0 = Tc603\Install.exe
selected.0=1
description.0.0=Total Commander Settings
command.0.0 = xcopy Tc603\wincmd.ini "%ProgramFiles%\totalcmd\wincmd.ini" /Y
selected.0.0=1

If I then uncheck the x.0.0 in the GUI then the whole "Tools" section is unchecked.

The only way to only install "Total Commander 6.03" without the settings is to click to times on the "Tools" section.

Maybe that's by design ?
