^^thats what my winnt.sif file has in it incase thats anythin to do with it, im totaly stuck on this, any help is greatly apreciated

[Bonzai1111]

dude im no mod or something but don't you think you topic title is a bit on the fage side ??

and isn't wpi after you installed windows ?? thats why its called POST install wizard

[wickerwolf]

i dnt know if its after windows is installed or during the last few minutes of install but either way its not starting at all hence me asking for help!!!

[Lost Soul]

it can be installed at both time frames,, your wiint file seems fine

are you using nlite by any chance to create your disk and if so are you removing anything from it ? like ie core ?

[wickerwolf]

hi, i used nlite to copy my origanal xp cd to a folder on my pc then to slipstream sp2 into it and then to slip stream hotfixes into it thats all i used nlite for and thenon the main site in advanced it has
'Folders considered safe to delete in your Windows Setup Source are:

DOCS, VALUEADD, and SUPPORT. This will free up 22.3 MB or so.

Let's go in further by navigating to the I386 directory with your Windows Setup Source. If you don't plan to use this CD to upgrade from a previous OS, you can delete the following folders:

WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG. This will free up 37.6 MB'
so i removed those from it and ive added Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks to it

ok i changed a line in my wpi.cmd file and tried again it loads wpi at first logon but when i click to install something i get the error message 'carnt find file' or sumthin along those lines but in my wpi config all the cmd lines are corect, ill copy and paste them here

[wickerwolf]

Hey, ive just finished installin windows this time wpi runs and out of the 6 applications i tried to install ( nero, dc++, savepic, 7z, winrar, winamp) only 2 (nero and 7z) worked an error message pops up on the ones that didnt install and i click ok then it goes onto the next app in th elist, just before wpi starts to run i get a cmd window pop up and it says cdrom found path wrong or somthin laong those lines if its important ill have to reinstall and try to write down what it says before it closes, ive gone into my config in wpi for the apps that didnt istall and the paths in the cmd lines all seem to be right for instance winamp the path is
'%cdrom%\WPI\Install\Applications\Winamp521\Winamp521.exe /qn' im using the right switch acording to the referance page so i dont understand whats not working, any help?
