New version of kTools included in my WPI Lite v1.2 Modified version.

See this post for details:

WPI Lite v1.2 Modified Version with new kTool

Didn't exactly get the %KTREP% function working as presented in the kTool forum...seemed to add baggage to the WPI code that is already resolving its own %WPIPATH% and needed that %KTREP% hardwired in generate.js code. Maybe another look by smarter people? Did manage to work the Quotes issues with MSI and REG Commands.

See Changelog included in download for more info, will try to put together a Help Document for those not familiar but provided a few examples inside the download to exercise the reboot options, multiple commands, Sleep, ProcessClose, etc. You would no longer have to make a call to these outside executables.

As always, please keep the comments, bugs, features inside this thread as to eliminate confusion with the real releases of WPI!!

Change:
Due to several requests, I've added download for full version with the new kTool and modified features as described above.

[srgsng25]

cool i wil ldo the network testing i have 100 gig app server the last time i tryed this i had to go restructure the entrile drive s file names due to how the file names we spaced out i think you fixed that

for example


this is what needs to be like share Z:\<dir Name>\Setup.exe
not share z:\<dirname>\setup.exe

please keep me posted as to the builds process

@ lawrenca

hey - good work! but wouldnt it be better to leave wpi as it is, and let ktool check which kind of installation it is? Im not good in autoit, but it isnt very hard, I think.

[lawrenca]

I'll take a look at it but I won't be doing much more with kTool as we should be gaining the progress bar functionality in the new WPI 4.4rc2 (if it is still called that). Better performance and nicer GUI.

Will lobby hard to add some of the extras I put in modified kTool to limit the number of external programs (Sleep, Killing Processes, closing down annoying readme windows after install, reboot flags, etc.). Having these in the config template makes it easier for me as I don't have to place paths in for these and carry those external tools.

Will also try to get Greyed Condition (in my case, indicates program already installed) to parse the silent arguments and launch the setup.exe for repair, modify, uninstall. A pretty easy mod that I added in my copy of WPI.

Would also like to see a more convenient configuration manager to make startup and maintenance of programs easier adding a filter by category so it is easier to manage UIDs, deps, and excls, and most importantly, install order. I use a tool I wrote myself to configure WPI, unfortunately, it is geared toward my modified version.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

It is being looked into lawrenca definatly some if not all your mods will be implemented in WPI 5.0...

[wixfigura]

Here is a little modified ktool.
the rightsidebar is called ktoolside.jpg size 172x413 and background ktoolback.jpg 1280x1024. you can replace it by your own pics. place all in your tools folder.

You can also exit the installation by pushing the esc button.

To fit for your own language the autoit ktool.au3 source is included. just search for headline= "Installiere Programme" and Progress= "Fortschritt" and compile the ktool.au3 with autoit to get ktool.exe.

Looks like this:



Download it: Ktool modified

nice

what font is that and how did you set it?

[wixfigura]

Its just the Arial. search in ktool.au3 for arial and replace it by your desired font, then compile it with autoit.

[Yurek3]

@Yurek3


Take a jpg in your desired resolution ( maybe if your Monitors res. while installation is 800x600 reformat your pic to 800x600 ), rename it to ktoolback.jpg and copy it to WPI\Tools folder - thats it !!
ktool cannot stretch or resize a small pic to full window size Maybe in a later version of Autoit.
If you do not want a background just remove ktoolback.jpg and make shure there isnt a copy of it in your %temp% folder.
If you want to resize a little just edit line9 in ktool.au3:

SplashImageOn("1", $destination, 1280, 1024, -1, -1, 3)

you see - resolution is 1280x1024 - you can change it anyway you like it first -1 means x-position middle 2nd -1 y pos middle, 3 means always on top, without headerbar.

If you modify it like this:

SplashImageOn("Yurek3 WPI", $destination, 200, 150, 20, 400, 0)

then you have a Pic with 200x150 dimension, 20pts x-pos from left and 400 pts y-pos away from top. Title is: "Yurek3 WPI".
Compile it with Autoit - thats all !

You see - quite easy.

If you want to know more, here you can get Autoit. It has a very good helpfile inside!

AutoIt 3 Download

Here you get other language Help Files

Other Language Helpfiles

Its pretty interesting to work with Autoit. You can do many things better or more than with .cmd files.
And is not as heavy as it looks like ( I began 1 month before to work with it).

Bye - good luck

[Yurek3]

THX for yor answer i'm very hapy how meny times you help me

only i get one more cuestion

whot Theme you use in your UA instasllation

see picture yours top is black i whont do this too.





THX

[wixfigura]

Its not the right place in that forum for things like that - but what does it matter!!!
Nice that you like my theme. I created it completly by myself - from Hellacopters Album Cover "By the grace of god". So I called it graceXP.
Overall it looks like this:



If you want that the theme appears before first logon you need to run the regfiles at T12
And you need a hacked uxtheme.dll in your XP
So here you can download it:

GraceXP Theme + regTweaks

Bye
