Hi!

I am using network unattended instead of cd/dvd. When I tried to defined something in WPI, my command "call \\server\share\test.bat" is renamed to "call \server\share\test.bat"

In debug info there is Found CDROM as from registry \\p

WPI isn't designed to do network installs. Sorry.
But Whimsy and I are working on ideas how to achive this...

[Martin Zugec]

Could I help U? I made a lot of network installations and WPI looks great to use with network

[BritishBulldog]

try this

call \\\\\\server\\share\\test.bat

yes 6 backslashes

[hasi001]

I'll look into the code. Seems I'm doing too many backslash replacements.

Try to Map drive for ur server share, i was able to do wpi installation through map drive.

2Bulldog: THX, I will try...
2hasi: I was thinking that using WPI as Published Web Services could be great...
2kenkueh: I cant map them, I need to access exactly

[BritishBulldog]

I actually use the 6 backslash option for my network install and it works.
The only thing is use an older version of WPI, never one with the config page as this will cut off backslashes.

@hasi yes it is because of the

TempSource.replace("\\\\","\\");

line in the generate.js, plus others.

normaly you would think because WPI uses double backslashes you could use 4 but this cuts them down. that is where the 6 comes in.
from the \\\\\\ two get cut because of the replace command so it leaves \\\\ which WPI using the double slashes cuts it down again to \\ which is ok for the network

Yep. That'll be removed in the next release.
