Hi,

first of all i want to say - how happy I am with the new verion of WPI, I like the new timer thing.

After setting all my programs (witch are on cdrom\programs\....) in the config.js , i run the wpi.cmd file and when i try installing one of the (or any) of the programs it gives me a bad path error.

my "wpipath" is pointed to cdrom\programs\wpi folder on the cd-rom.
the error i get is like "e:\programs\wpi\programs\my_program\setup.exe /qb"

now i understand it somehow inserts the wpipath into the command but why ? my command 1 in config.js say -
"%CDROM%\programs\my_program\setup.exe /qb"

what am i doing wrong ?

thanks

must be

"%CDROM%\\programs\\my_program\\setup.exe /qb"

NO luck,

i changed the command line like you said, but with no success. the error keeps comming.

for some resone it inserts the %wpipath% and not the %CDROM% don't know why, what else might i be doing wrong ?

Thanks

P.s
i have just checked up my config.js and i did write all the path's using "\\" it's just in the config it doesnt show it this way, so this is not my problem (the "\\").

In a simple way I think i know whats the problem:

for some resone WPI put's my %wpipath" insted of my %CDROM%.

I have edited to wpi.cmd and removed the /hide so i can see witch drive letter is given to %CDROM% and %wpipath% and it's correct, the cmd is working fine.

even when running a clean "installation" of WPI with only Example in config.js i get this error, I can see it's replacing my %CDROM% with %wpipath%.

Is this a bug with the program ? why is it hapening only to me?

Thanks .

You need to add programs\wpi to you config lines

Like so %CDROM%\Programs\wpi\install\program.exe <----- ADD THIS TO THE CONFIG LINES and leave wpi.cmd as just %CDROM%

the %wpipath% is fairly important to the workings of wpi so leave that as it is.

P.S. You posted the contents of the hta file not the cmd file.

set WPIPATH=%CDROM%\Retestrak\WPI

for /R %%i in ( *.ttf ) do (
 echo Installing font %%~ni.ttf
 copy /Y "%%~fi" "%windir%\Fonts" > nul
 "%WPIPATH%\common\installfont.exe" "%windir%\Fonts\%%~ni.ttf" > nul
)

regedit /S %CDROM%\Retestrak\WPI\common\killinstallerwarning.reg
regedit /S %CDROM%\Retestrak\WPI\common\WPI.reg

Have you edited the "marker" file in generate.js ?

In fact %wpipath% do nothing with generated path of program, a script generate.js find again the %cdrom% by other way, it search for a file ... (by default it's WPI.ico).

You must set any file present of root of your CD.

x:\WhatEverFile.txt
x:\Programs\ ....

the %cdrom% variable will be x: ... so in your config file set path %cdrom%\\Programs\\....

Goodbye.
