WPI is a replacement for RunOnceEx or batch files wich allow to select the software you want to install at the end of your unattended installation.

What I want to acheive is different. I want to use my Unattended CD to perform additional task when inserted into any kind of computer.

With autorun.inf, my HTML interface is launched and then the technician can read documentation, install software with just a click, install drivers, etc.

1.  Rename the .html to .hta - that makes it a HTML application that runs without a browser-like toolbar, etc.  (useful to have a "pro" looking autorun).

2.  Setup an autorun.inf in the root of the CD, which will run this HTA file.

how do i get the .hta file to run?? i get the error "not a valid win32 application" (when its on the CD works fine otherwise) what have i missed out??

Does the .HTA file open properly when you double-click on it?

Which version of windows and IE is on the machine you're trying this?

It works directly calling the HTA for me, but if nothing else doesn't work for you, you can try this code in the autorun.inf:

[AutoRun]
open="iexplore FILENAME.HTA"

Here is a HTA Template with One Button function.

When presses it will run a winsif maker that i am working on,

just edit the location to match your needs.

<td width=93.45pt valign=left style='width:93.45pt;border:transparent windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;padding:.4cm .4pt .01cm 1.4pt;height:88.45pt'>
<b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:Bold-Italic'><code>
<A class="jakePrint" 
title="THIS IS THE TEXT POP UP AREA, ADD MORE TEXT HERE IF NEEDED">
<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape

<form action="http://www3.telus.net/GSMJAK1E/AUABuilder/CmdWinSif/PlainSifCnet.cmd" method=Get">
  <INPUT TYPE="submit" ACTION="http://www3.telus.net/GSMJAK1E/AUABuilder/CmdWinSif/PlainSifCnet.cmd" VALUE="Press This" 
  id=msviGoButton><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1B9541'>

<![endif]>This Runs Just a test Of My Winnt.sif maker </code></a>
</form> <table> </table>

Here what you want to edit for your path to some thing

 <INPUT TYPE="submit" ACTION="http://www3.telus.net/GSMJAK1E/AUABuilder/CmdWinSif/BitTorrent-3.4.2.exe"/s"/v/qn"VALUE="Press This"

EDIt So It Will Install This

I didn't do extensive testing with HTA files but it doesn't seems to allow me to use switches either...

for now I'm stuck with a link to a batch file for every command that need a switch. I can hide the command window if cmdow is present on the system but I don't know if there is other way to hide it :}

Ok, I think it works properly with javascript...

<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var a = "SETUP.EXE TRANSFORM=Unattended.MST /qb-";
var b = "SP1-Client.exe /Q:A /R:N";

document.write("<a href=" + a + ">Office Pro 2003</a><br />");
document.write("<a href=" + b + ">Service Pack 1</a>");

</script>
</body>
</html>

BUT I would prefer plain HTML... :rolleyes:

The Additional CD of my OEM computer (Fujitsu-Siemens) use html and Javascript to launch installation of automatic BIOS flash.

Would you like i send you an archive of the html, js and css files ?

WoW! interesting. So you don't think it is possible in HTML? I mean with quotes and backslash or anything else.

Otherwise, it could be something like this in java script:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
document.write("<a href="SETUP.EXE\",\"-auto\">TEST</a><br>");
</script>

I'll need help to figure out the syntax and understand how to apply it to Office for example...

Are you adding the Cd varible to the OutPut

That would give it a place to start from.

This is a cmd that makes a vbs that will then send back to cmd

the CD letter, Edit out the delete stuff add the vbs code to what you need.

echo off
mode con: cols=55 lines=2
title CdVar
color 9f

> Cd.vbs echo Dim ts
>> Cd.vbs echo Dim strDriveLetter
>> Cd.vbs echo Dim intDriveLetter
>> Cd.vbs echo Dim fs 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject
>> Cd.vbs echo Const CDROM = 4
>> Cd.vbs echo On Error Resume Next
>> Cd.vbs echo Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
>> Cd.vbs echo strDriveLetter = ""
>> Cd.vbs echo For intDriveLetter = Asc("A") To Asc("Z")
>> Cd.vbs echo Err.Clear
>> Cd.vbs echo If fs.GetDrive(Chr(intDriveLetter)).DriveType = CDROM Then
>> Cd.vbs echo If Err.Number = 0 Then
>> Cd.vbs echo strDriveLetter = Chr(intDriveLetter)
>> Cd.vbs echo Exit For
>> Cd.vbs echo End If
>> Cd.vbs echo End If
>> Cd.vbs echo Next
>> Cd.vbs echo Set ts = fs.CreateTextFile(Left(Wscript.ScriptFullName, InstrRev(Wscript.ScriptFullName, ".")) ^& "cmd", True, False)
>> Cd.vbs echo ts.WriteLine "set " ^& Left(WScript.ScriptName, InStr(WScript.ScriptName, ".") - 1) ^& "=" ^& strDriveLetter
>> Cd.vbs echo ts.Close
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul
start wscript.exe Cd.vbs
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul
del cd.vbs
call cd.cmd
del cd.cmd
cls
mode con: cols=55 lines=5
color 2b
echo.
echo Your Cd Is %CD%
echo.
echo set cdrom=%CD%
echo.
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
exit
