WPI 2.7 is by bishooman and gresh and we didnt relesed our 3.0 version yet we are working on that
WPI 3.0 beta it is by coolsights2000 he did a very nice job but i think it is complicted


for all
we are thinking to make many changes in our version 3.0 we will make WPI easier to use with completly new interface and all the opption that any body needs
so plz keep working in our version 2.7 and tell us what need to improve

thank you all

please be careful how much you change...

the coolsights 3.0beta is largely complicated, and therefore i dont use it (not that it doesnt have its uses...its just that mine are geared toward simple).

also, remember that a LOT of us spend LARGE amounts of time coding our WPI's correctly with all the extra slashes, and quotes, and whatnots. Therefore it would be appreciated if our current code would still work on the newer versions.

I'm getting ready to post version 3.1 you cried so I added a preoption setup application to it

run the file Preset.hta when you look it over

with a simple click of the mouse you can turn on and off the options you want to keep or throw away......

This is why I put in my read me to use a cmd file to run the installations programs....

Less headaches

once you proof out the installtion folder all you need to do is link to the CMD in the folder...

hi all,
is the registry files support working properly ?
coz i think none of my .reg fille are install ,don't know why..

for exemple :

Quote

prog[16]=['Sygate Personal Firewall']
desc[16]=['']
regb[16]=['cdrom','APPLICATIONS\\Sygate\\reg.reg']
cmd1[16]=['cdrom','APPLICATIONS\\Sygate\\pspf.msi /qn REBOOT=Suppress']
cmd2[16]=['','']
cmd3[16]=['','']
rega[16]=['','']
dflt[16]=['no']

...
prog[18]=['Windows Tweaks']
desc[18]=['']
regb[18]=['cdrom','APPLICATIONS\\Tweak\\Tweak.reg']
cmd1[18]=['','']
cmd2[18]=['','']
cmd3[18]=['','']
rega[18]=['','']
dflt[18]=['yes']

files are in :C:\XPCD\APPLICATIONS\
and all soft are installing without any pbs

TIA

[bishooman]

yes it is working
in your exmple it will not work !!
try to edit the command lins to this if you want to test it from hard drive
prog[16]=['Sygate Personal Firewall']
desc[16]=['']
regb[16]=['systemdrive','XPCD\\APPLICATIONS\\Sygate\\reg.reg']
cmd1[16]=['systemdrive','XPCD\\APPLICATIONS\\Sygate\\pspf.msi /qn REBOOT=Suppress']
cmd2[16]=['','']
cmd3[16]=['','']
rega[16]=['','']
dflt[16]=['no']
but if you are going to burn to a cd or dvd you command line are ok and it should work.

Being new to WPI I am not sure how to create these two files, and since they do not exist anymore in the package I am lost.

Quote

Move wpi.cmd and install.cmd to $oem$\$1\install (That is, the root of your install folder)

Can someone give me the code to recreate these two .cmd files?

hi,

Quote

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

wpi.cmd is under $oem$\$1\install\

Quote

@echo off
rem This file should be called right after setup is complete
rem Edit it to fit your CD Image accordingly
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\wpi\WPI.HTA
start /wait %systemdrive%\clean.cmd

no need of install.cmd

hope it's help you ...

[dlevens]

Thanks, that helps alot. Will give it a try now and see if it is easier than my RunOnceEx.cmd.

Thanks Alot , just one question :

u mention in one of your replies that if i want to use XCOPY command, i nned to call out a cmd file that contains the command right?

but what i'm using the method above :

"cmd.exe /c cmdow /run /hid \xcopy /y"

will it work fine? and how do i use commands like REGEDIT and taskkill? same? thanks

I hate to sound ungrateful, because I LOVE this version of WPI, but I must bring up another version:

WPI_99 by hasi001

It does not have all the features i love from YOUR WPI, but he managed to get up to 99 programs (!!!!) WITHOUT NUMBERING, and WITH TOOLTIPS!!!

Do you think you could take his version and add those features i listed above to yours? that would be really useful....

[hasi001]

Done it.

2.7 with:

unlimited apps
constraints see this thread for explanations
no renumbering
tooltips
defaults checked
countdown to install
some ui-changes (2 colums if >640x480 , then page scrolling)

New version posted
ui-chages: 3cols in 1024, 2cols in 800, 1col in 640 mode

ZIP removed.

wow, this looks amazing.

i haven't fully gone through it yet, but i am assuming the reason there aren't any "rega" or "regb" in the config.js is because you just copied your previous code over? but the reg stuff WILL work, right?

also can we have an UNLIMITED number of programs? or only up to 99? (just curious...)

[epoke]

thank hasi001

[beppemito]

is there a swith to turn on/off descriptions?

[hasi001]

All the 2.7's options should work (not tested).

And unlimited really means unlimited (as long as the memory can handle it). Dunno what the runonceex-dialog thinks about too many apps (think it's just single column)

@beppemito: what do you mean with descs on/off ? tooltips? just leave them blank ('')

[beppemito]

yes, tooltips

[hasi001]

change e.g.

desc[pn]=['Installs Microsoft Office 2003 Professional. <i>Recommended</i>']

to

desc[pn]=['']

--> no tooltip

[beppemito]

thanks

[zbeta]

What a great script, hasi001! Thanks!

1) Locate your $oem$\$1\install folder, and create a new folder inside, called “wpi”. Extract the WPI files into this folder.
If your installation path is different, modify it as required.
2) Move wpi.cmd and install.cmd to $oem$\$1\install (That is, the root of your install folder)

install.cmd??
