If the first screen would look kind of like in the picture below , with just the install button if using the /autoinstall switch that would be great, sorry if I'm asking to much, just positive comment

So, everything that was requested here was added.
@MarcoTips: I also added a "Select all" button (tri state) as you wished, and of course screen center positioning
It now run on Windows 2000. I added /SkipAutoRestart switch to prevent from automatically booting.
Example commandline could be: wihu /skipautorestart /autoinstall 0

which will automatically install software but don't reboot after programm termination.
I'll do an unattended windows installation test with this tool now.

thanks, will test it out tomorrow if it's available for download then

If I have any more request I'll let you know, would do it myself but don't kwow how to program in C++

[Alanoll]

hmmm....
I've found a place in my install routine for almost every other progam made at MSFN.....

I guess I could find a place for this

Very Very nice indeed.

Software was installed in reverse order as specified in ini file is fixed now. Also a bug in AutoInstall option.
So everyone can make suggestion which feature should be added in future version 1.6.

[MarcoTips]

Is it possible now to skip the user creation completely and select what you wish to install, and if nothing is selected during a specified time it auto installs the standard selected options

[BenjaminKalytta]

Ok MarcoTips, take this one: WIHU 1.6. You have to enable /SkipSettings switch.
@Alanoll: Thank you again for correcting grammatical mistakes in my application.

Very nice, but.... your program seems to have a limit somewhere.
I don't see anything wrong, but for some reason it stops listing programs at "msn messenger". The checkbox parameter is also ignored.
See the attached ini file.

You're right syntax_13, it was a very bad mistake of mine. Please use the new one WIHU 1.6.
Btw syntax_13, nice ini file. May I borrow it for my installation system?
For everyone programmer here: Don't use GetPrivateProfileSectionNames with fixed Buffer size

Hallo Benjamin!

Great work, indeed! Thanks a lot for that nice little progi.

[MarcoTips]

when using the skipsettings switch the install.ini isn't loaded

[BenjaminKalytta]

It's loaded here. Be sure install.ini is in same folder as wihu.exe.

No problem benjamin.

Actually, there are some other things i'd like to be added:

1. a commandline parameter to skip the software install part. That way i could run your program twice. Once through cmdlines.txt to create an admin account and setup the computer settings. The second time after first logon with the new account to just run and install the software part, here it would skip the account screen.

2. an option to rename the default Administrator account instead of creating a new admin

3. a possibility to use the name and password of the newly created account as variables in the install.ini file (e.g. %newuser%, %newpassword%).
This is used in the cmdlines.txt part to run a batch file which injects the autologon parameters into the registry and thus lets you autologon using your newly created account.

[BenjaminKalytta]

@syntax_13:

You could use wihu /autoinstall 0 /username "New User" /userpassword 1234567890
In this case, settings will not be skiped.

Setting %NewUserPassword% is a security risc, don't know if it is so suitable.
Changing Administrator isn't that easy. What about just disabling it?
Nevertheless I added this feature at this moment. May be there will be a command line switch in future to disable it. %NewUserPassword% and %NewUserName% is now available.

Benjamin, maybe you could add a 'rename account' checkbox which calls this renuser program ?

[BenjaminKalytta]

Who programmed this tool? I'd prever to get the source and to include it directly in my code.

Benjamin Kalytta

[MarcoTips]

when I use the switch /skipsettings, I get the screen below, but when I don't use the switch it shows up normal

EDIT: just did another test, when I call wihu.exe from the commandline without the switch its also like in the screenshot

@MarcoTips: Do you use the newest version. Please try to download it again (WIHU 1.6.1).
Or may be your Ini file isn't correct?

Benjamin Kalytta

[MarcoTips]

I'm using 1.6 just downloaded it again and I'm using the ini file that is provided, if I don't run it from the command line then it shows up properly

[syntax_13]

There seem to be two versions of renuser, one here and one here.
