WPI 4.3.5 is a mess. Period.

Next, I set up a virtual machine and started my newly created iso image. At the end of the windows installation that nice fancy colorful hta interface did pop-up as it should. Right, I clicked on install only to find myself confronted with a not-so-colorful and not-so-fancy error message stating that line 222 doesn't support 'this method'. Installation or even GUI-guided exit impossible.
Well, for some reason I repeated the iso installation with the same image on a new virtual machine...and surprise! - the nice fancy colorful hta interface did not appear. However, I was delighted to see the ordinary RunOnceEx installation complete successfully.
Inspired by this, i burned my ISO and did the installation for real. Well, to make it short, I was confronted with that line 222 error again. A subsequent installation did not bring up the same result as in the virtual machine however.
So in the end I dumped this whole mess that calls itself post install wizard and went back to the RunOnceEx method. Less colors but it works. Period.

Yes, and you can download that erroneous config file from the wpi site, wise man.
Well, anyway, it occured to me that my problems might very well be due to the fact that my windows installation did not have the JavaVM included. I guess it would be too easy if that dependency would be pointed out on the website, but even that won't bring me back my wasted CD-R. However, since WPI is just colorized RunOnceEx, I don't care about it any more. So, thanks for nothing and sorry to spoil all that positive feedback WPI receives.

You sure sound like youre a total newbie there. Joining the 5th, trashing someone's creation(God knows how much time he took to make it), posting nothing constructive and then saying youre going back to RunOnceEx method.
If you figured all that stuffs by yourself(unattended cd, runonceex etc), youre a f.cking genius. You dont need WPI. Go make your own working software instead of posting utter bul***** around there.
EDIT: By real name, i implied REAL NICK in this forum. I aint hiding behind any screen nick. Its the INTERNET DumbF.

He's not trolling, he's just reporting a problem, nicknames are off-topic discussion in this topic and I think he made a pretty detailed explanation of his situation/error.
Btw, happy birthday kelsenellenelvian

@husalov If you did not modify any thing but the config.js then I can only see the error as being related to that. As for the program being s*** well over 30,000 user and even a couple of corporations might argue different. Once you get WPI figured out it is no big thing to add or delete entries, but it can be a b***h to start out. AS for the Java thing javascript and java are 2 completely different things as most knowledgeable users can tell you.

Just so I'm not misunderstood, I must say that I do use the program now and I do appreciate all the time that people have put into getting it to the shape that it's at now. I just wish that there was more documentation about the way it works so that I could at least troubleshoot the issues that I had myself without begging for help that was seemingly over everyone else too.
Yes, once it's set-up it's easy to use. But to set it up the user had better have knowledge of JScript and the time to take the scripts apart to be able to understand why some things don't work as intented. (That error 222 was only part of my own frustration.)
Once again, I am not being ungrateful for a program that I use frequently, I am simply pointing out something that could be improved for wider user appeal.

A very mild understatement. I would not support any anyone who acts so pathethic as starting a thread with this kind of behaviour. This is totally inconsiderate, unhealthy behaviour and should not be allowed. 2/2 posts of sick behaviour, period.
